It really depends on the University and major. If you're at a university that requires very little work, then you can get by. But if you're at a famously difficult major at a famously difficult university, you can't. A lot of the more engineering focused universities (MIT, Caltech, CMU) can easily push their students to 80 hours of work a week without the blink of an eye. It's not unheard of the more difficult classes to take 60 hours a week by itself. At any rate, good luck. I've been desperately trying to balance a startup myself with school :). However, Christmas break (now) is the real furious coding sprint.
