[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finances, focusing and frustration also contributes to this longer time frame. Then on the other extreme there are increases in students finishing before 3-years with double majors.[/quote] Given the fact that staying longer means additional years of paying for room, board/meals, and tuition (beyond individual class credits), it becomes a dramatically more expensive prospect to stay longer vs. just taking as many courses as you can in the 4 years. For those working their way through college that of course becomes even harder, but if you've got a choice, I would be on my kid to do whatever they can in the 4 years, because really, who has money for 2 additional years of rent and food and fees??? I changed my major in the middle of junior year, but I did summer school, lived cheap, and did everything I could to graduate on time. I was also paying for it myself so... I had incentive to do it as economically as possible![/quote]
