intense college with new born?

I'm 36 weeks pregnant (18 years old) and i am currently applying at colleges and one is very intensive and its also the program I want the most (its a film school) and its a fast paced intensive program.
Just wondering if any other moms are in The same boat or already moms that have gone to college and had a baby.
The program runs through summer (and is only a year long each for 2 programs I wanna be in) but I don't get much vacation time.
And if I don't start school right away I won't get funding for school (I'm native american and my native band provides full coverage of tuition fees)
So putting off school for another year isn't an option. :/
Advice? Encouragement.
I'm worried I'm gonna feel like I'm neglecting my baby.
Thanks in advance momma's.  
PS: baby will be 6-8 months old when I start.

I'm currently in an honors program at a university and had my baby boy December 30. I've been enrolled since Fall 2014 and was pregnant for a semester.  All I had was winter break and then classes resumed Jan 5.  Its definitely more of a challenge, but you just have to manage your time. I try to do most of my work when he sleeps.

Go for it. I'm in an intensive psychology program at my college currently and I'm 14 weeks with twins. I'll be graduating in may but if your child's father is going to be there to help...GO FOR IT! As long as you have help you'll be fine.

I say go for it! I was going to go to school again when my baby is about 4 months old, but I don't have the money or time... If you have the money and time, do it while your child is young... And just finish it up and then you won't have to worry about it! Good luck momma!

Also baby daddy is American so he'll be home with baby 100% of the time, and I'll be getting Money from my native band every month as well.
