How do you feel about the subject itself?
I can tell you from experience, that if you don't have a keen interest in the subject, you are going to struggle, and its not going to be fun.
There are 2 aspects to a course, a plan for where that course is to lead to, it must be the means to an ends, not a degree for the sake of it, combined with a strong interest in the subject matter.
If you cannot state an affirmative to both, I would advise caution before jumping in.
Is there any flexibility to change the focus of your degree during your first year based on your secondary subjects?

1) Do you have any interest in the subject? You say you wanted to do psychology; was this your second preference or did the university just decide to cram you in an empty place? If it was the latter, and you have no interest, turn them down...there isn't any point doing a degree in something you have no interest in.
2) Do you see yourself having a career related to this degree? If not, turn them down. There is no point getting into masses of amounts of debt if you are going to be jobless after the degree is over.
