kudos for you taking the leap but it would have been much more prudent if you changed the "to start" to "while starting".
A lot of the people you hear that quit their education (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, etc) to go on and build their own start-up mostly did it AFTER their ideas took off and started gaining traction[1]. They don't just blindly quit their education just for the sake of starting something. Many times it was due to a really good compelling reason such as Angel/VC funding was approved, taking a lot of their time, huge sudden interest, exponential customer acquisition, etc. Also, for every 1 successful person you hear that quit their college, there are another 100 others who have failed.
Anyway, who am I to tell you what to do. Again, like I said at the start, kudos for you for actually even doing something which puts you ahead of many others who are still at the "thinking stage". But I think in this situation, it is apt to say: look before you leap.
Good luck and all the best! Do prove me wrong and drop me an email when you're all successful. ;)
