re: How long is too long to be an undergrad? + opinions

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.
