For studying philosophy, you are probably better off reading than going to any university class. Philosophy in most US universities, at least, is an extremely conservative, western-centric, liberal oriented enterprise. There are individual philosophers who no doubt would be amazing to study with, but to major in a field means taking all kinds of classes, like logic, the canon of western philosophy, and other non-sense. Though there is something to be said of the old adage - you have to go through to get beyond...
Going to university as compared to not going is a completely different question as is the economic viability of university and various majors.
