PPL training in the US on J1 visa

Hey there, first post!

I did search and found some related threads, but I was still confused.

I'm going to the US for my masters degree on a J1 visa, for 2 years.

During my time there I want to obtain my private pilot license, and maybe IFR rating. I'm already aware of the TSA clearing process.

Can I undergo training with the J1 visa even if it wasn't issued for attending the flight school?

If there are limitations, should I apply for a specific visa to do it? I think only one visa applies at a time, depending on which was used for entry, but I'm just not sure anymore.

Any help is very appreciated!
