Pros of University: contacts and shortcuts to experience; qualification
Cons: Potentially wasting more time; no guarantee of a job.
I have some useless qualifications. I did them because I was genuinely interested in the subjects. I have not acquired a career from it. I think any decision to go to uni should be made on the basis of 'I am interested in this'. I have a good mate who has a sound production degree who constantly rues that "it's hard finding a job". Degrees may mean you walk into your ideal job, but the people I know who've done well in the music world have done so through mates' networks (as TP above says).
I wouldn't suggest not going to uni; but I'd also suggest getting a portfolio together (even if it's a fake one, initially) and approaching every small games' producers you can and saying 'I do music, you need music. I'll do it for free'.
