Im about to graduate in 4 years in accounting. I think anyone who isnt in engineering (or the other 5 yr programs) is capable of doing it

I made it in 4. In retrospect, another year would have been fun.

I did the one semester victory lap to get an extra football season. I like to think I redshirted my freshman year. I didn't know how to do gameday right back then.

I did, but I went to school two summers, so not just 8 semesters

Unless you're in engineering (or architecture which I think is a 5 yr program), it is fairly easy to graduate in 4 years. I graduated in 4 even after switching majors after my first year.

My guess would be 25%. students go into college now with the notion that it will be "the best time of their lives" (which it probably will be), and often make little effort to graduate on time. I.e. they would rather take two semesters of 12 hours and 2 semesters of 9 hours and graduate in 5 years rather than bust their arse with 2 18 hour semesters and summer school to graduate in 4

I graduated from Texas State in 5 years. Isn't impressive until you hear one semester I received no credit and another I only passed one class.

No summers

I didn't go to LSU, but I graduated in 4 years. Of course, I'm also the only person I know that did not drop a class during college.

I wish I wouldn't have been such an overachiever. Should have dicked off more.

I've dropped two classes so far so I could probably take summer classes and be back on track, but i make too much money in the summer to do that. i'd rather just do another semester.

4.5 years. You need an extra football season. Of course it didn't hurt that we won the National Championship that fall.

I graduated in 3 1/2 years. I had a ton of college credit in high school from spring testing, AP test, and ACT score.

Did it in three. I wanted 3.5 (so I could get 4 football seasons) but my grad program only started in August.

I came in with 15 hours or so credit and did summer school twice.

It took me 5 years to finish undergrad even with summer school every year and intersession twice.

With that said, it's fair to also include that I didn't live the traditional college life. I worked two jobs to put myself through and only had enough time to take 12 hrs a semester. I also lost around 18 hours when I transferred from a CC, but it ended up being worth it to get two associates before I left as a back up plan in the event I didn't finish at LSU.

On one hand I am proud of what I was able to accomplish completely on my own, but I wish I could have enjoyed the journey a little more.
