Any advice?

Hey guys,
Just in my last year at college in the UK and want to go into investment banking. I've applied and started getting offers from top 20 universities to go and study Business and finance. I've also got a job offer from a big 4 accounting firm, on a corporate finance school leavers program. Just wondering if anyone knew what would be the better way to break into IB, weather i should for the work experience at the big 4 firm, or go to university and try to break in to IB in at graduate level?
Thanks any opinions really valued
