My step brother managed to drag his LSU career out 7 years when he graduated. Then announced to my step dad he was going for his masters. To which he replied good luck. You’re on your own now money wise.

My ex- girlfriend took 7 years to get her teaching degree. And it was at Southeastern. And she wasn’t partying. And if she had one letter grade lower in one class, she wouldn’t have had the gpa to graduate. This is who educates your children.

For me it was 3 schools in 5 1/2 years, with the longest time spent at LSU and with an LSU degree.
I had fun the first 3 years.

Looking back I wish I had done it in five years instead of four.

10 yrs here. Calendar, not academic.
1979-1989.
Full time, part time, skip a semester to work.
Enjoyed it.
If I had to do it again, I'd take 20 yrs...

27 years. A class here and there from 1989 until 2015, and took the rest in a full-time race to the finish after successfully raising his kids and getting the last one out of the house, graduating in 2016 with a pretty damn impressive GPA.

This. I started with the intention of finishing in 3 years, since I was already planning to go to med school.
Had the hours to do it. Instead I just took 12 easy hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays as a senior. Best year of my life.

I took 5.5 but a friend who started with me in 2005 and is still actively pursuing his bachelors and has taken a course every semester since he started.

My buddy Van, took him about 7 years. Dude threw some great parties too. Even had an assistant, drove around campus in his own golf cart and started a few side businesses. School paper ended up doing an expose on him.

Took 8 years but it was a 5 year curriculum. Main issue was I ran track & cross-country and so I didn't actually start course work towards my degree until I was done with my eligibility.

I feel like you would of failed out
I know people sort of say (speak) "would of" or "wooda" when they mean would have.
But how does a (presumably degreed, based on OP) person actually type out "would of" when that clearly makes no sense?

Took me 7. Work full time the entire time. First four semesters I only took 9 hours. Took a semester off for Basic training and another off for AIT, changed majors, changed school... eventually I got a few very school friendly jobs and went from 12-15 hours to 18. I graduated this past December.

I was watching tv and not really paying attention.

I know a guy who has been going since 04-05. Still doesn’t have his bachelors degree. No clue wtf he is doing.

It took me 6 years. I didn't have any help. I worked part time, and got out with only 7k in debt.

Well, I knew an honors student in the 90's who took 7-8 years to graduate from UNO, but that was because he ended up spending 3 years in OPP for an attempted first degree murder charge (of a police officer).
He was extraordinarily lucky to plea bargain down to battery and still be able to graduate by the time he was 25.

11 years. Mechanical Engineering degree. He started when he was 27 and married with 3 kids working night shift in a warehouse.
My Dad took 15 years to get a degree in EE, went one semester full time then usually took one class a semester at night, except once or twice he took two classes. Was very common for working people to do this back in the 50s and 60s, colleges usually tried to accommodate the night students with the needed classes. He finished when he was around 35, and worked 30 years as an engineer, its never too late.
