Did you make it through in 4 years?
Back when I went through it seemed like most everyone did.I talk to people lately and it seems there is a high percentage of 5 year seniors.

3 years...

Peaches · 10-01-2006, 08:29 AM

I went 4 semesters. Well, looking at my transcripts, I just "kinda" went ;)

Honestly, after going through it myself and with my son, I think you should get a job right out of HS, do that job a few years THEN go to college. You'd appreciate it SO much more. I know I'm working much harder now in school that I ever did as a kid.

Alot of people are starting to go the 5 year route. College life rocks in your early twenties might as well enjoy it and I think that is what alot of people think. I wish I would have went to a bigger college and city but oh well.

It is strongly dependent on what your major was. Anyone with a communications, journalism, english literature, etc... should have no problem with 4 years. I think the average engineering, or hard physical science degree might take 5 years.

Sarah_Jayne · 10-01-2006, 01:05 PM

yes but not four years in a row. I did one in the States and then took a two year break when I moved to the UK and got married. Then I went back and finished within three. I have now started my masters which should take me two and a bit if all goes to plan.

If you are on top of things, finishing in 4 years isn't very hard... (assuming you only work part time, if you work full time on your biz or job, it will probably take you longer)

madawgz · 10-01-2006, 01:40 PM

i quit a long time ago

B40 · 10-01-2006, 01:41 PM

Moe · 10-01-2006, 02:01 PM

Just graduated earlier this year and made sure I would finish in the 4 year time span. Im happy to say I succeeded in doing.

But yes I do agree, most people take about 5-6 years to finish.

rodney25 · 10-01-2006, 08:39 PM

Five years, but it's not really because of some failed subjects.

LiveDose · 10-01-2006, 09:40 PM

1 crazy ass booze, pot, acid, pussy filled year. Good times.

Rochard · 10-01-2006, 09:43 PM

I got an AA degree in two years. It was brutal - Full dress code, full attendance... Miss more than three days of class and you were dropped.

reynold · 10-02-2006, 01:01 AM

Four years of painstaking struggles, excitement, and great memories.

quiet · 10-02-2006, 01:15 AM

4 years. 4 of the best years of my life

I got an Associates but went to an Art School so it definitely wasn't that strict. It's easy to say that I wouldn't have survived at the place you went to.
