long uni course or short course??

Hi, I just joined so I'm not sure if the topic I'm posting is in the right place... sorry in advance! Anyhoo, I just wanted to know your thoughts... if it's better to do a 2yr+ long theatre course at a university or numerous short workshop/courses to develop my skills in acting? I've had no training pior, but I'm willing to fully immerse myself into studies that would help me get into theatre. Basically what I'm asking is which one would be more beneficial, drawing on your experiences in either one. gtrx!
