If you enlist while in college, keep in mind that colleges and universities DO NOT have to work with you the way an employer is required to work with employees who have National Guard/Reserve training requirements.
When I was a company commander, I had two soldiers who needed time off from annual training. We had to get creative in order to get them back to home station so they could complete final exams and graduate.
If you get called to AD and it comes down to your military obligation vs. your academic obligations, the military usually comes first. Your college or university might not be real accommodating in this scenario and you could lose some money.
