You could express milk and keep it in the fridge at home or with who has the baby, I had to do that sometimes, just expressed every 4 hours after a feed and then I had enough for a day, then do the same on the night time 
I also went back to college after 3 weeks

Speak to your school, they should provide you with somewhere to pump and also somewhere (a fridge) for you to store your milk whilst at school.

You're going to have to pump during the day while you're at school. I work full time and am in college full time but I made my schedule so I'm only in class for an hour or two every morning. That way I can breast feed my baby in the morning and then pump when I'm at work in the evening and my bf can give her my milk from the bottle. I'm going back to school after about 2 months and going back to work after 3 months. I'm glad my daughter is due in June during summer break:) lol

Most mom who has to go back to school or work. Pump enough bottle for their babies. So if your son or daughter is gonna be with someone else make sure you pump & have in a bottle that way it's ready. So try to pump alot to save some breast milk in bottles like 3 to 4 & put in the fridge or freezer

I'm not a mom yet I'm 24 weeks and 3 days but if you want to breastfeed you're going to have to pump while in school (maybe in the bathroom) so your milk doesn't dry up !You can also pump at home and store in bags to be frozen !
