Did you/do you plan on graduating college in 4 years?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Option 4. I just finished my 4th year of college last week, and I still got at least another year left to graduate.

Of course, none of my friends graduated/are graduating in 4 years either. I don't think anyone at Mankato does. I actually know a guy who is likely to graduate after his younger brother.

[Nym90]

Yes, and I did finish my bachelor's degree in four years, though I had to go a couple summers in order to do it.

I finished my Master's in a year and a half, which is half a year less then it ususally takes (again, I took summer classes, which helped).

[Gabu]

Not quite in four years exactly, but that's because I need two more work terms after my fourth year to graduate, not because I'm lazy.  If I wasn't in co-op, then yes, I would graduate in four years.

[Jake]

My parents will pretty much force me to, especially if I go to a more expensive school. So, I plan to.

[Nation]

Yeah, and I still plan to. I'm on course right now.

I think.

[riceowl]

that's the plan...i need 16 hours total next year.  Shouldn't be hard.

[WalterMitty]

yes, i graduated in 4 years, though like nym, i attended summers.

[Platypus]

no, i'm aiming for 6 years. I'll be doing staight arts in the first year, and then transferring to arts/law in the second year. A law degree takes four years straight, but 5 years if it's combined. I can get it down to 5 and a half if i finish my arts degree at the end of the fifth and do straight law from then on.

[John Dibble]

Georgia Tech is technically a four year school, but it takes most people five.

How much are fees over there? I know there are cheaper universities, but is the gap in fee terms really all that big?

Also, are there any fee-sharing or no/low-interest loans systems available, through the gov't. or otherwise?

[TomC]

I took 4 and a half: I transferred colleges after freshman year and my junior year, we switched from quarters to semesters, so it took an extra semester.

The difference between a public and private university is significant.

University of MD - College Park is somewhere around $15,000 a year including room and board.

Loyola (private) could run you $35,000+ a year including room and board.

[Speed of Sound]

I plan to go to college until I get my doctorate in Physics, so no, itll be a little more than 4 years.

[7,052,770]

I'm on track to finish in 3.5 years, though I'll probably stay the full 4.

[MasterJedi]

I'm planning to if at all possible.

[muon2]

I think the question is just the time to get a BA or BS after completing HS. There's little question that the average student takes longer than one did 20 years ago. Some of that occurs as students use community college for a period before going to a university.

I think 6 years is a more reasonable time frame.  That's about what I took.  There is no reason to rush off into the unpleasant world of work.  In fact I would recommend - whether you finance it through the parents or student loans - a healthy dose of graduate school.

[A18]

I have no idea. I'm just going to start out with a couple of classes at NOVA, because everything looks pretty boring, and I don't want to have to devote a lot of time to it.

[Inverted Things]

I did it. Double majored in mathematics and physics. The way to get out in four years is to have a plan by the beginning of your second year, otherwise it's very easy to miss requirements and have to stay longer.

[Cubby]

Sometimes its out of your control. I transferred after 2 years. You lose credits when you transfer, since the new college doesn't accept any credits for courses they don't have. So it has nothing to do with academics, its just a way for them to make more money.

[dazzleman]

I graduated in 4 years.  It was taken for granted that I'd finish in 4 years.  All my friends finished in 4 years also.

Technically speaking, you're considered to have graduated college after you get your batchelor's degree.  Master's and doctorate degrees are collectively considered "graduate studies".

[ilikeverin]

I'm hoping to insanely overload my schedule with enough AP classes to get my BA in less than 4 years

But there's no question whatsoever that I'll be getting a bachelor's degree; not getting one is simply not an option any more.  90% sure I'll be doing some sort of post-graduate education too.

[Gabu]

But there's no question whatsoever that I'll be getting a bachelor's degree; not getting one is simply not an option any more.  90% sure I'll be doing some sort of post-secondary education too.

Do you mean postgraduate education?  Getting a batchelor's degree is post-secondary education, so this sentence is currently redundant.

Oh yeah, well, your face is redundant
