Yes thats what this program was specifically designed for. COllege students and Full time workers. with that said....i hated the 10 month program as an instructor. I highly suggest the 90 day if you can.

You have time to be a college student and finish the program in 5-6 months. This is what I did, except I intentionally spaced the program out to the full 10 months.

I didn't like the 10-month program as an instructor, since the students didn't always fly enough to build proficiency quickly enough to pass the checkrides, so much more effort and sim time was required. Also, at a busy place like Vegas the schedule is always tight so working around someone's schedule can be difficult, often disruptive.

From a student's perspective the 90 day program is great. Jump in, fly, fly, fly, and before you know it, it's done. No other distractions, and you finally get to focus on flying so your proficiency builds quickly, and that is very motivating. Throw in some serious beach time in SUA or JAX and you'll have a blast. I'd finish whatever you have going on such as college, etc and then do the 90-day program.
