I know this is highly dependent on you major but just wondering if its remotely possible... with an engineering major at least. :(

what's the rush? I suppose its possible if you do summer school, and take maybe 17 hours a semester, but you'd die in the process/grades would suffer. Or it also depends on your amount of credit coming in..relax and have some fun before you have to start working all the time :)

I knew one guy who got an engineering (I think he was a chemical engineer) degree in less than 4 years -- but he was smarter than I was. There might have been others but I'm not sure.

It took me 5 years. I could have done it in 4 years if I had taken more summer classes but I actually liked school and wanted to stay as long as I could. :eek:

I finished it in less the 1 year (oh wait, I never went...nevermind...)

edit+ does community college count... I did that for 6 months or so... :)

My girlfriend is graduating with a BA in math in three years. Her friend just graduated with a degree in literature in two years.

I'm a CE major and I'm on pace to graduate in four years, if I pass all my classes from here on out. It's not going to happen. :beer:

If I didn't have to work I could have. I took 17 hours last semester and had a 3.87 GPA with time left over. I could have taken 20 and still gotten a 3.5, which would have had me graduate in 6 semesters = 3 years :Q But I worked full time my first 4 years and so it is taking me 6 to finish.

Anybody ever seen Van Wilder? I know several (at least 3) guys who are living that life. They all take like 6 credit hours a semester and are all like 26+ with no degree in sight! Haha it's fun stuff.
