note: this is different from how long did it take you to graduate. for instance, i took 3.5 years to complete all my requirements and stayed for another semester for sh!ts and giggles

It will take me 4.5 years since I changed majors after my third semester.

So what, 19 years then? That's only meaningful if you tell us when you started.

Anyway, If you count years since I graduated high school, it's looking like it will be 6. Of course, I wasn't going to school full time during all 6 years.

4 years. Everyone I knew was going to school full time and I didn't want to be one of those people who took 5 years to do a 4 year degree simply because they failed too many courses to do it in 4 ;)

Ten years. One year in school, a year off (failed out), two years back but only passed enough classes to accumulate another 1.5 years of credits, three years off, and three years of going part-time to finish.

I'm still in college, but if all goes to plan I will graduate in 4 years. (Done with 2 already.)

Showed up to UCDavis a few days after my 18th birthday - and 9-11, incidentally. I had most of my general ed finished by then though, started full time at a community college when I was 15. I took my first comm college class at 12. I've double majored, taking between 16 and 24 units a quarter to push through.

Took me 4.5 years...because I had to retake a math class, and also because I did two semesters of Co-op (internship). I wish I could say that the extra semester was for sh!ts and giggles, but I can't. But it all worked out in the end, so I'm happy.

This is such a vague question. Every university is different. Some are harder than others. Then there's the issue of what people are taking. There are a lot of easy degrees out there. Because i'm part time it will take me about 6 yrs.

5 years. Failed 3 classes, and got a few D's which required me to retake a couple. Graduated with 147 credit hours ( semester system )
