With regards to distance learning I'm currently in the process of doing a degree in history through the Open University whilst training. It's a more financially comfortable situation to be in, you can work, study, and fly, all at the same time. Tuition fees are minimal with the OU and an entire degree can be achieved with the same amount of money as one years tuition fee at any traditional 'brick' university. Becasue it's distance learning I can still hold a job down and keep the money coming in whilst flying as a hobby and working my way towards a CPL. I had commitments at home and a burning desire to fly, this way I can achieve everything and my wallet isn't quite so bruised either
