[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my nephew's case, it was a combination of taking too few hours each semester because his mom didn't want him to feel overwhelmed, changing his major twice and failing calculus.[/quote]

Right, that's more the type of individual example you'd expect.  But this says 6 yrs is increasingly the average length to finish undergrad, which means a lot of people are taking 6 yrs or even MORE to finish.  Is that seriously true??  I've never heard this.[/quote]

This says that

The model of going to school full time starting right out of college with no breaks, has never been the only, or maybe even, the most common route to college.  Some people go more slowly because they need to take remedial courses, some go more slowly because they have family commitments, some go more slowly because of money.  All those people are figured into the average.

In addition many state schools are becoming over crowded, which can make the classes a student needs challenging.  [/quote]
