Plus TOPS paid for my masters degree



How in hell did TOPS pay for your graduate school? I had TOPS the entire time for my bachelor degree. But for graduate school I had to man up and use FAFSA.

(5) years.

(12) hours most semesters, dropping a class here and there, and at least (6) hours every Summer.

I wish I would have taken 6 or 7 years to finish.

Take your time, the world will still be here. Your youth will be gone FOREVER.

3 1/2 years. Worst decision of my life. Should have taken a victory lap.



Taking my time has worked out so far. It's pretty messed up how the administration tries to get you out in 4 to improve retention and graduation rates.

Great advice. I wish I can go back in time and tell myself this.

Between spring testing and advanced placement I had over 20 hours of college credit before I graduated high school. I basically started as a sophomore. Graduating in under four years was easy for me.

TOPS covers 8 semesters of school not necessarily just undergrad. So since I finished undergrad in 6 semesters, I had 2 of graduate school that TOPS covered. Nothing better than graduating debt free
