How its like to study Modern Languages in Uni?

I'm only in year 11 but I wanted to know what its like to study languages in Uni? Languages is something that I've been good at but will it be enough? Does anyone has experience that can share? Is the work load too hard or what is it like? I want to study Spanish along with Russian (fluent in Russian, but recently picked up Spanish which i looovee)

Why do you want to study Russian if you already speak it? Very, very few universities will admit students onto language degrees if they're already fluent.

It won't give you wider options. Employers will likely assume you were just looking for an easy degree. And as I say, very few universities would accept a native speaker anyway.
