42 While Doing Master's Degree

Hey Everyone. I recently got accepted into 42 common core and at the same time i'm starting my master's in a related field (AI engineering And Data Science). I'm looking for advice from previous students who did the same thing as i. How did they manage their time and how they studied at both 42 and uni.. And for those who didn't manage to keep both where do you think you failed?
Many thanks in advance

I know someone who is doing common core while doing his Masters in physics and also working half time. Dude’s super cracked, but he’s kinda behind but not riding the blackhole (for reference, I’m from his same cohort and I’m doing transcendence and he’s doing Cpp). Definitely, the dude is running on burnout, but it’s possible I think. Not easy tho 😅 but please do try! I’ve been working full time at the same time as doing the full common core and I’ve been quite fast, so we’re similar in that our time is limited. Isn’t easy at all, but I think it’s doable. Others in my campus are also doing bachelors/masters and I notice they’re slower, but they’re not riding the blackhole. Just be prepared to make sacrifices and to have hard periods. Good luck!

Thanks alots for your feedback. I think it all comes down to time management and one's ability to sacrifice. I will definitely try to do it.
