I agree with the last post, not saying ratings and college can't be done at the same time. I can give you a bad scenario probably not the worst I am currently taking 18 credits to get out of school, flight training at a local FBO for my commercial but right now their only complex is broken probably for the next month and I work nights 5- 10 pm. I put in some long days and it bothers me to not fly sometimes because I have to work on school or work. I would not go this way again, I would have done all my flight training first then gone to school. Good luck with your decision.
