Don't know what your finacial status is but unless you can afford to fly & be a student at the same time it may be wise to wait until you have finished your studies, or at least be in your last year, thats how I did it in the old days of grants & student loans which was saved for my PPL after uni studies. You might get a PPL before uni but then have insufficient funds to see you through the course which wouldn't be good. However, if you want to fly and money is no problem then go for it.
