How many years as undergrad?

[drguitarum2005]

While considering a big change in my life, to transfer schools so late in my undergrad career, I thought I would ask how many years it took you graduates to...graduate? What were the circumstances for why it took however long it did?

Cuz I'm lazy. Plus I liked working and riding my bike more than I did school.

when i finish (middle of my 4th year right now) it will have taken me 6. i kinda screwed around for the first 3 of those, failed alot of classes because i didnt go and didnt do the homework. lesson learned the hard way on that. this quarter im kickin butt and doing very well. plan on getting out of here by spring '11, but who knows with the budget cuts and such. might go for a minor in something too so that will undoubtedly add a bit to mine.

I had to work part time, so I generally only took between 12-14 units per semester. I changed my major three times and I took a semester off to work. 5.5 years by the time I was done and I have no regrets whatsoever. The break let me refocus on how important school was, so my grades were much better when I returned.

Way too long for me.

I took 2 years of night classes while in high school and received an AutoCAD certificate the same month I graduated high school.

I spent 2 years attending a community college full-time and getting gen ed stuff out of the way. I also worked part-time during this time period.

I spent 2 years attending the same community college part-time and getting more gen ed done. I worked full-time during this time period.

I then spent 3 years at a real college, taking 12-15 credits a semester and working about 20 hours/week.

So, all in all, it took me 9 years and a degree change to earn my certificate and B.S. degree. I also wanted to graduate debt free, so taking work breaks was kinda necessary for me.

The average at my school was 5 years for engineering. I did it in 5.25 years.

I got my ChE in 4 years, but keep in mind that was only possible due to 2 summers of summer session.

Still going, so far its been 5 years since im outta HS and I have an AA.

Went 1st semester and did ok, 2nd I had to drop a class, 3rd I only took 2 classes, etc. I basically took between 2-3 classes rest of the time, dropped a few, changed my major once and such.

I have taken the past year off so far to work. Im sick of the daily school grind and needed time to just relax and work and pay my bills.

I estimate it will take me another 2-3 years depending on how many classes I take. I think ill pursue a career tho during this time
