8.5 years start to finish. Bottomed out at a 1.7 GPA. Got kicked out of LSU. Got back in, never made below an A in a class again. Finished with a 3.0 overall.

Electrical engineering.

3.5 years. Only took that long because I wanted another season of football. Last semester I took 9 hours I think.

5.

I know a guy who is an engineer.. It took him 10 years to finish. When he first started college he didn't make the best grades, had to take a few classes over, which set him back, then he took semesters off along the way and finally.. After.. well it was actually 9.5 years.. he graduated.

4.5 years. Changed my major twice. I probably would have finished in less than 4 if I hadn't.

My dad took about 16 years to get his BSEE, he went one semester full time them took one class a semester at night for the next 15 years. He did it on the GI bill with a full time job and a family, was actually a very common thing back in the 50s and 60s, everybody today is in a hurry.
