Okay , so I'm an undergrad studying computer science in a non-us college ,so forgive my English. I was wondering how possible is it to balance academics and a serious programming career while in college without one affecting the other like I want to be that straight A student with great programming skills without falling apart because I have been told that it's very difficult.
