Shooting a movie takes a lot less time than shooting a TV show. Sometimes it's as short as a few weeks. Innocece&Instinct has a good point about acting being good for extra money (it's how I paid for my first year of college), but I don't think that's the only reason Nathalia acts. She likely has passion for both her studies and acting, but it's hard to balance both.

She's missing at least three months of a 9 month school year, which, over four years, adds up. On top of that, certain classes are only offered during certain semesters, so it could take her five or six years to finish if she continues to take six months of filming time off each year.

She's smart about getting a degree. The number of unemployed actors out there is outrageous and it doesn't always pay well. By getting a degree she's guaranteeing a back-up plan for if she stops acting. I really think fans need to respect her decision and try to put themselves in her shoes before they criticize her.
