[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child graduated from UMD a semester early and there were two cons.  Housing the last semester was a little tricky to coordinate and there was no December ceremony.  [/quote]

My DS will graduate from UMD in Computer Engineering in two days one semester early.  He will finish his finals on Friday and he can't wait to leave UMD and start traveling for the next six months in Europe, Asia, and South America, with the tuition/room/board that we will give him, on top of a 50K cash gift from my FIL.  There will be a job waiting for him when he comes back from the trip.  There is no need to spend another useless semester in school for undergrad.  [/quote]

He might feel different when he gets to work and sees he is undereducated compared to his high performing peers. [/quote]

My CS kid is graduating early.  He feels in CS experience is much more important that more class work.  Lots of the early graduators have piles of AP credits and took extra credits each semester.  They are not undereducated.  [/quote]
