Can't agree more with this comment. Depending on your degree, the amount of work required will be significantly less than the amount of time you have in the week. Not to mention that interest rates on student loans are dropping again, meaning living off student loans while you start your business and do school is a potentially much more successful way to go than any other.
The problem with starting "some time after" you graduate is how easy it is to burden yourself with life responsibilities (wife/kids, new car loan, mortgage etc) when you have real income and stability from a job. When you are halfway into getting your startup off the ground and ramen profitable and you graduate, you can maintain your poor college kid lifestyle much easier than a previously well off wage earner can go back to a poor college kid lifestyle.
This worked well for me, but I also didn't care for any of the other "college experiences". I got my partying (drinking, smoking, minimal sleep etc) out when I was in high school and my early 20's, so found most of my younger college peers boring when I eventually finished my CS degree.
