Xoon, you don't have to give up the hobby b/c of college. I am a senior mechanical engineering undergrad that is taking early masters classes and I still have time to fly a bit. Not a whole lot mind you b/c of school and work, but foamies (especially a good 3D one) will allow you plenty of time to fly. Also, every time I go home to visit my parents my dad and I are basically camped out at the flying field so that I can get my plane fix before heading back to school. Education comes first and foremost no doubt about it, but without having fun with things like flying the stress of getting an engineering degree will kill you. Just my opinion. Have fun and go forth and do great things.
