Default 3 years or 4 years university?

Hi, I am caught in a dilemma right now, and hence would like to seek some opinions from working adults or fresh grads.

Well basically I am offered 2 courses from our local unis. One last a span of 3 years(NTU), while the other is 4 years (SMU). Both are direct honors.

3 years allows me to have an additional year of annual salary and working experience but at the same time, everything is pack into 3 years according to my seniors. And if I am to double major, things will be even more pack.

On the other hand, 4 years allows greater flexibility. I can participate in more CCAs (intending to join 2 CCAs) and maybe a richer uni life. However, I will be hitting 26 years old upon graduation, compared to my peers who graduated at 24 or 25 years old. Hence I feel that I am quite old for an average grad.

If you are me, which choice will u make? 3 years for the time and monetary benefits or 4 years for a more fulfilling university in both studies and activities.

Thanks for reading and your input.
