very true, as a general rule, if your after performance, conducting etc, then music colleges are normally better, however if your after the historical stuff, bit of performance, bit of music technology etc, then universitys normally offer that. Best thing is to start ordering hundreds of prospectus' from all the different places and start reading up. Then go to a few open days, cuz you learn so much from actually going to places, as soon as you get there you'll know if you want to be there or not.
