but is the mk18 accurate cause 10.3 inch is really short and made for CQB no?
US Special Forces have been making 600 yard hits with the MK18 with the Elcan SU-230 (Specter DR). At least that's what I hear...

Good idea. Pay for your education first, AR may wait.
You don't need to build AR if You going with the so called parts.
Just buy complete upper of the good quality.
Wait and save more money.
Buy bolt and charging handle.
Wait and save more money.
Buy complete lower.
Wait and save more money.
Buy a box of ammo and go learn your new rifle.
Don't buy all this ninja stuff like rail, super duper stocks, optics and God only knows what more.
Learn your irons first, learn how to assemble and disassemble the firearm, how to clean it and most important - just have fun.
High quality AR don't have to be expensive - just stay away from all the "upgrades" so popular these days.
Take a look at the EE section here.
People selling the rifles that look like overloaded Christmas trees with all the so called tactical equipment hoping to get back all the money they invested in the optics, rails, bi-pods and all this stuff.
Don't follow this path.
Good luck with your university.
