I am a CS student and through my school I got a license to upgrade to enterprise. I have been mainly using Python up to this point, however in the fall semester I will be using C/C++. Would it be of best interest to uninstall the community version and install the enterprise version? Would I be able to take advantage of the features as a student?
If so, should I uninstall the community version first so there is no issues? Or would it be fine to download enterprise and once I get all my Python packages in the enterprise version uninstall the community version?

In non-enterprise organizations, up to five users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or >$1 Million US Dollars in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source, academic research, and classroom learning environment scenarios described above.
Answers. No. Visual Studio 2019 is on a different release channel to Visual Studio 2017, this allows for both IDEs to be installed side by side. This means that you cannot convert a 2017 install into a 2019 install.
Starting from Visual Studio 2017, there is no more upgrade. Community and Enterprise editions can install side by side.
So with a valid Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise license, you should download Visual Studio 2017 installer and choose Enterprise edition to move on. You can of course uninstall Community edition if you want to save disk space.
