6 years but the 2 final years were just victory laps.

I have 18 hours left! Own a business and run another business. I’ll go back to school when I have time.

3.5 years for undergrad. Could have been 3 but I wanted my 4 football seasons. Sucks that they were Curley Hallman’s 4 seasons, but I wanted all of them anyway.
Law school was 3 years but probably should be just 2.

6 years for a chemical engineering degree. Wish I had kept the full ride I had out of high school but unfortunately I had some things not go my way about half way through.

7 years undergrad changed majors and worked offshore between semesters and took some off. With that and the GI Bill didn't have to work when in school. 2 years grad my employer paid for it but even working reduced hours school was a bitch.
My dad called me the perpetual student he wasn't being nice about it.

Congrats. It took me 11 years. Went to lsu and screwed my grades up. Went to community college for a few years and screwed my grades up even more. Took a year off. Went back to community college and then four year to graduate with a BS. My gpa before my year off was like a 1.0 over 120 hours. My second attempt I had a 3.9 gpa. Had to regroup. I have like 260 total attempted hours.

Makes total sense now

5 and a half years.
I took it slow on purpose and don’t regret 1 second if it

Congratulations! It took me 8 years of non-consecutive study to complete undergrad. I took my pre-reqs over the span of 4 years in the Army and staggered my studies on campus in Baton Rouge over the next 4 working both part and full time with 2 semesters off. I wanted my LSU experience to last as long as possible.

It took me 5 years of actually being enrolled, but that was spread over 6 years. I started off an idiot and not going to class. After 2 years, I realized I was majorly fricking up. Went home for a year and worked and drove my stepfather with PTSD and epilepsy to and from work everyday. Realized that wasn’t the life I wanted and got my shite together and went back.

5.5. Switched from computer science to engineering which resulted in a few wasted classes. One of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm a nerd myself, but the guys I was surrounded by in computer science were the stereotypical obnoxious nerds. I remember the day I took a retrospective look around the classroom and made my decision. I still enjoy programming, but I'm glad I didn't pursue it as a career path.
Opposite experience. The only class I ever dropped was Chemistry II due to me cramming it in in the Summer with another tough engineering class. Made a 50 on the mid term and decided to drop it to focus my attention on the engineering course, which I was doing worse in. Tried that same class again the following Fall semester and ironically scored a 47 on the mid term, but stuck it out and passed with a B.

4 years straight.
Transferred from another college to LSU after freshman year.
Took two classes on two separate summers each at UNO; simple and fun classes just to get my hours (art appreciation, world geography, American history, filmmaking)
Later got Master's degree in 2 academic years including thesis.

Close enough to my story, except they booted me out of the College of Engineering and the College of Sciences (Chemistry) basically told me that they had enough Engineering dropouts.
Took a year off of school (not really by choice) and worked in a plant as a laborer. Went to BRCC for their Coastal Science program and transferred back to LSU to graduate in Coastal Environmental Science.
Side note. If someone is struggling through college, I definitely recommend taking a blue collar job and trying it out. It will likely light a fire and get them serious about school. After less than a year as a laborer, I knew for certain that I was never going to hole watch or fire watch again.

6. Switched majors right before my senior year. Finished new degree program in 1.5...thankfully because credits transferred within engineering college
