[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is finishing up her junior year.  She is a STEM student.  We have been saving our whole lives to pay for her college and currently have 210K planning on 60 or 70K a year.  Figured we could save most of the 4th year tuition by the time she gets there.

That said I recently discovered that it is common for many STEM students to take 6 years to graduate college.

How did I miss that?

Did you all know that 6 years to graduate college is a thing? [/quote]

No. 4 years. then work or grad school. 
Core AP class credit can get it to 3 or 3.5. 
Don't read generic articles and make conclusions. If you want the data, get the raw data and run it yourself. Media is full of BS and select figures. 
My kid just did 4 years at XYZ Bio-chem and now is going back in for 1 years masters. At even more money!  And have you seen law school at $80-100k a year!  We make our kids pay half of grad school in order to have some skin in the game and make sensible decisions with consequences.[/quote]
