To add on to what eatgoodfood said,
I am a college student at the end of my college years (senior) and I have lived in an apartment the whole time. When I first started to have to pay rent and bills it was a transition, your whole perspective on your wallet and what you can buy changes. And depending on where you live, rent can be expensive, mine is $900 for a one bedroom not including utilities (it gets close to $1000 when you factor those in). Plus, electricity will cost you extra, my electric bill jumped about $8 (keep in mind I only one two snakes and no rack system). Space wise, don't assume you will have enough, the more spacious the apartment, the more expensive the rent. Everyone wants that big apartment, but there are only so many to go around. Before breeding I would at least start looking around at apartments and seeing the prices, ask about utility bills, etc. Furthermore, not all landlords will allow you to keep snakes, I have yet to come across any law that says landlords have to let you..... point being, don't assume anything when it comes to apartments.
On the university end, it is nothing like high school, high school was child's play. Professors expect you to turn things in on time, be there for tests/presentations, and the assignments in general are a lot more time consuming. Adding to that, many professors don't care if your snakes are sick/dying they expect you to preform all the same. I just want you to be aware how time consuming college can be, I juggle college and my snakes fine, but I don't have much of a social life (the price I willingly pay).
I'm not trying to be discouraging, I just want you to be fully aware to what you are getting into.
