Why dont you concentrate on your college work and save every penny you can for the next 2 years, then go to America and do the PPL in a month. You would still get the PPL in the time frame of 2 years and be without the frustration of waiting 2 weeks before you can afford another lesson, it will also be cheaper in the long run. In the meantime read every book you can get your hands on about flying and before you know it you will have enough money to get it done. I would take you flying with me just to whet your appetite but we are about 250 miles apart. Anyone in Newcastle feel like giving a wannabe a free flight?
Of course if the urge is so strong ignore everything I have just said and go for it.
