I'm a University lecturer. In my opinion, most people shouldn't be going to Uni at 18. I deal with so many 18year olds who can barely boil a kettle suddenly becoming students on courses they don't really understand, that they rushed into taking because their friends were, making wrong choices and incurring high costs. So don't go unless you're sure. What job do you want in tourism? Will there even be a tourism industry to go into in a few years? What else can you do if you didn't go? All things to think about, don't rush it.
