Hiya 
I'm a med student at Birmingham and there are a couple of people in my year who started medschool at 17. Some were Canadians who finished school earlier than we do in the UK and I know of at least one British girl who was moved up a year in school and so finished at 17!
The only thing I'd mention is that a lot of the uni fresher's events and parties etc take place in bars and clubs which only let over 18s in, and i guess these people may have missed out on this in the first few weeks!
Good luck
