I had a few friends who applied for college during their training, and while it was doable, it was more difficult because they could not really visit the schools while they were training.

I plan to attend college soon after, and would love to know if I should apply now and defer my enrollment or wait till the next application season rolls around. I would also like to apply for scholarships, but I don't know how it would work to hold the money over an extra year. I don't want to stress about this much next year, and I would like to be secure in my education. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
