One thing not mentioned. If you go TOA, you better be more than prepared for the workload. But I feel it's good training to get you mentally prepared for the industry.

Of course hard work will push you to do better... I lectured there before

But no matter where you study, I'd recommend that you do not underestimate the importance of presentation skills. And a good confident, command of English.

Design is not just confining yourself to your own world and interests, but opening yourself to a whole world of possibilities, IMHO.

EDIT: Hardwork is part and parcel of the design industry in general. Also, if you're struggling with assignment datelines, 50% of the problem lies in not putting in consistent amount of work times every week, so it'll all accumulate in the end. Hence the so called 'last minute' syndrome.
