Thanks for the reply. 1) For what it's worth, the web dev part of the course was given a complete overhaul to bring it to more of an industry standard this year, and 50% of the course is now design. I intended to study business but a massive amount of the curriculum (in this country anyway) would be of little use to me. I've had business as a subject for the last 5 years and found the syllabus to be appallingly orientated towards only management - there was literally just a chapter on entrepreneurial activity. I also considered CS, but there's a lot on the curriculum that doesn't really interest me, and since I'm certain I want to specialize in web/design I thought I'd be more interested in this course. Java is actually one of the languages on this web dev degree. As for networking, I've joined clubs and societies to network with people from these other departments. 2) I would definitely take that into consideration. Unfortunately there's little to no startup culture where I am, but I'm working on it. 3) I've heard that many times, but so far haven't found many personal itches. However I constantly get feedback from other people about their own itches and see what I could improve on there.
