I go to a traditional state school (and did so all 4 years) - uga.
Good luck! I go to UWG. Out of curiosity, do you feel comfortable living in Athens?

Thanks!

yes. why wouldn't I? If you don't go into the ghetto at night, it's safe enough here.

Three calendar years, included three full semester summers. My preference would have been four, but that's how it was set up.

I'm closing in on 6. Going for a double major and taking too many classes at community college slowed it down. I'm probably going to end up with 150 credits or more.

I completed an associates degree (60 credits) in two years and 57 of them transferred to university. I then went full time 12 or 15 credits a semester (one semester I carried 21 credits) and took 3 years to finish education degree. I graduated with just over 200 credits total. The program was only supposed to be 130??

started in fall 2008, finished in march 2013. 4 1/2 years

I worked full time through most of it and took a semester off. too many other issues going on at the time and it was all too much to handle so I took a short break.

The vast majority of people who have a Bachelor's Degree got it in 4 years. But here's the thing. Most people never even get a Bachelor's Degree. So yes and no. Of the people who have a Bachelor's Degree, yes, most of them finish in 4 years. Of all people nationwide, most of them don't finish in 4 years, for the simple reason that they never get a Bachelor's Degree. So you just be proud of the fact that you're even getting a Bachelor's Degree.
