5 years for me so far. Most of my friends pulled the ol' "frick it let's just finish school" and they're pretty miserable right now . I chose the STEM route. Hopefully it pays off.

quote:

Securing a college degree takes four years, right? Well, maybe not. The new reality is that a vast majority of students don’t end up graduating in the traditional four-year window. Most college students at public universities end up completing their bachelor’s degree in six years, according to a study by Complete College America Complete College America is a non-profit organization that works with states to help close the college degree attainment gap, making it easier and more cost effective for students to pursue higher education. In their Nov. 2014 report, the group tackled the four-year graduation myth, stating most students at public universities don’t graduate on time. For a non-flagship public university, only 19% of students graduate on time and even at flagship research public universities, the on-time graduation rate is only 36%. Only 50 of the more than 580 public four-year institutions have graduation rates above 50%.

10 semesters. Never took summer school and averaged 13-15 hours except my last semester which had 10 or 11. I liked taking my time. I highly advise it

Millennial here.

Finished in 3 years while playing safety for the football team. This was all after spending 4 years in the military and deploying.

The OT grandpas get their rocks off with the millennial criticism shtick a little too much.

6 glorious years. And plenty of summer sessions too. Never changed my major and ended up with an okay GPA in ME though(only one bad semester, but it was like 0.0 bad). I had no plans of graduating until my "first" senior year when reality set in. Live and learn.

7. I wasn't really ready for college and I didn't take anything seriously until my friends started graduating and I was still taking college algebra Finished with an Associates in Construction Management and a Bachelors in Supply Chain Management/Logistics. Made some mistakes, have some regrets, but in the end it turned out alright for me andI had a blast every minute of the way

eta: went to the bar every night and skipped class to go smoke weed and fish all day
