[quote=Anonymous]I work at a college. It's a very middle class thing, IME. Rich kids being funded by mom and dad don't want to graduate a semester early even if they could -- they rather stay in school with friends and live it up, take on a second major (perhaps more of a "hobby" major), take random "fun" classes unrelated to major, work on a thesis or capstone etc. Poor kids either have scholarship covering their COA and/or in many cases attended high schools that either didn't have many AP classes or had poor preparation so that they didn't get the scores needed for credit. For middle class kids, graduating a semester early saves them or their parents' hard-earned money or lessens the student debt loan. Also if they have loans it allows them to get a six month start on paying them off. [/quote]
