a bunch of people who actually graduated college are telling you how wrong you are. you don't know what you're talking about.

you havent taken 1 class at a college like UT or SMU or LSU or whatever so your assumption you had earlier doesnt hold much weight to any of us.
That's all you said. That's your entire paragraph.

Maybe I should take senior classes first and freshman classes last, since they are the hardest.

Do what you can afford to do. It took me six years because I stayed out a few semesters working. I didn't have any debt when I graduated, but that was the 80's, when tuition was $300 per semester.

You've told me I'm wrong in every post you've responded to me in, frick off already yankee. I'm not asking for your opinion

You started this thread asking questions and wanting advice. Jones is actually trying to be realistic and drop some knowledge on you since you seem clueless, but just want to be a DA.
This thread is a shitshow.

Yep, I asked for advice, if somebody is going to be a dick, I'm gonna be a dick back.

Wel here's my solicited advice: whatever college that has accepted you and is the cheapest, go there. You seem all over the place and will probably change your mind more than once while you're there. So just go wherever you're not going to bury yourself in debt.

Time is never the issue: cost and seriousness of purpose is. You should not be in college to "find yourself", or because "everyone else is doing it". You should also try to avoid wasting money unnecessarily. If it takes 7 years to get what you want, and you are willing and able to commit the resources to get it, don't let time hold you back. It's worth it if it is what you want to do with your life.
It took me 5 years to get through undergrad and my SO 6 years. Thinking that anything more than 4 years is a failure is a bad mindset to have. It's ok to take longer as long as you get out of college what you need. You will be much better motivated and have much better results if you know what you want and enjoy what you study.

Dude, you didn't take freshman classes. You took community college classes. That's less than freshman level.
I have a mechanical engineering degree. My freshman calc, chemistry, computer programming, and physics classes all took more effort than some 4000 level engineering electives (4xxx is senior level for those who didn't go to college, at least at schools that use 4 digit class numbering systems). Each semester there were one or 2 hard classes, some medium, and some cupcakes. It didn't always get progressively harder. Hardest class in ME comes your sophomore year.

Just because the only people that went to CC in Louisiana were people that couldn't get into LSU doesn't mean that is the case everywhere.

I don't care what state you're in, community college is nothing but a glorified high school. In most cases, it's academically less rigorous than any decent high school.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. If a student is lacking in some of the skills or maturity that they needed to learn in high school but still want to pursue a college education, a community college is a great place to start. It may not be the sexy thing, but it can be the smart and financially responsible thing to do. It is likely better to spend a little extra time shoring up the fundamentals on the cheap rather than jumping to the next level when one's not ready and failing out. The GPA hit from cratering 2 semesters of college and dropping out could completely derail one's quest for higher learning for years Better to start small and build up and try to jump ahead and fail.
