Work Experience or Classes?

I'm an undergrad in NYC, and managed to secure an internship at a top global macro hedge fund this fall semester.

I'm starting to think about my school work balance, so for those in the industry, do you wish that you had spent more time learning things in college or outside of college (relevant work experience) before entering the financial world full time?

Thanks
