It took me 4-1/2 years. Then 3 years for my Masters and 4 years for my doctorate.
Working with undergraduates for the last 6 years, at least those at "traditional colleges and universities", it seems to be averaging 5-6 years for a bachelors degree.
Four years. I actually lost my dad in the first semester and was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor in the second to last semester. I wouldn't expect anyone else to do it, and I kind of look at it as the most notable accomplishment in my life.
Things took a definite turn for the worse after I graduated, beginning on my commencement day! I have a lot of friends who switched majors and stuff and took up to 7 years to complete a B.A. who are in much better positions than me.
I actually had a gap, too, of one year. I expected to use it for saving money working at my family's store and then going on the trip of my lifetime, but that didn't work.
I finished in four years, but that's not exactly a detail I'm proud of. I just skated by in a couple of classes toward the end...I wasn't really motivated at the time. I went to a "top" school where they pretty much made sure everyone got through within four years. Wouldn't want to hurt their rankings!
3.5 years and I spent the final semester to make it a round 4 years (hey I had paid for it) taking the most entertaining of electives.
21 years old taking fun classes that started 10AM or later, drinking buddies and loads of cute girls.
When people speculate about what it would be like to be insanely rich and how they would live I can honestly say I have first hand knowledge of how good life can be!
4 years if I don't fail any class this semester (unlikely, but you never know). Next semester is mostly easy electives. I plan to start studying/completing Microsoft certifications next semester too. Double major in economics and comp sci with a minor in math.
I go to a traditional state school (and did so all 4 years) - uga.
