All I can say mate is try and get a job whilst at Uni.
A friend of mine I studied with at Uni got herself a job at a nearby GA airfield, whilst studying for her PPL.
By the end of it she was pretty much flying and not paying, the deal was she got the aircraft for £70 Wet/hour and they took that out of her wages, which was about £7/hour.
The PPL can pay itself if you ask around.
