Any advice would be appreciated
It’s not all about “catching the wave”. College is a big commitment in many ways; Physical, Mental, Time and of course Money. Adding in flight training on top of that is another large commitment - even a PPL under part 61.
My opinion is to do what suits you. If you are comfortable with the current work load for your degree and feel you can add more of all the above mentioned factors, then do some research. If you’re already maxed out with no free time, spare brain power or money then now is not the right time.
