Does it make sense to get my license now? I most likely wont be practicing until I graduate in two years, but right now since it's the summer I have a load of free time to take the course and study for the exam.

An RE agent practice is a business so you have to ask yourself first and foremost what amount of $$$ and time you are able to invest in actively practicing it. It seems you're covered on time so then it's a matter of ability to pay up front costs like MLS membership, NAR membership, some marketing costs, and miscellaneous office costs. It's because of the cost investments of running a business like this that a lot of people start out their agent careers part-time, so that a W-2 job can help cover those costs.

I got my license during my senior year at school. I was able to do agent things on Mon/Wed/Fri and school on Tu/Thur. It was a ton of work, but worth it, If you are driven, you can do it!
