pilottom,
Mate, Ive been in exactly your position. 1 1/2 years into a degree, I started hating it and my old man said "finish your degree and I will help you get your license!".
I did just that. Started my PPL and hour building straight away and then my CPL/ATPL exams after that. Once I left uni, I was fully prepped and prepared to do a solid 6 months flying and training and I got my CPL/IR soon after finishing my degree.
Its amazing what a motivator to finish your degree hating the thing is so you spend as little time there as possible!
Your obviously in a very envious position (being able to finance a license without debt as well as go to uni) so dont throw that away! Keep going with your degree, try UAS (if only to get some free flying) and enjoy it! Do your PPL on the side!! And then get stuck in once you finish. It will all be over before you know it! You wont regret staying at uni.
Trust me!!
Cheers
