[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wisconin's 4 year graduation rate is much lower than Michigan's.[/quote]

It’s baffling to me how so many kids at 4-year schools don’t graduate in 4 years. If you have even a couple AP 4s/5s it’s easy to finish most majors in [i]under[/i] 4 years. [/quote]
Yeah if every student is taking easy majors and living off their parent's money during college. State flagships tend to have a lot of lower/middle-income students that work a large number of hours part-time (vs. the wealthy kids that may work 5 hours a week for beer money) and have a lot of engineering students which is more demanding than other majors.

This is why schools with a liberal arts-focused and wealthier student population tend to have higher 4-year graduation rates than those with a lower/middle income and engineering-focused population. Compare the graduation rates of UVa vs. Berkeley or Georgia Tech. The students at Berkeley and Georgia Tech are not slackers by any definition. [/quote]

Or some schools are bureaucratic nightmares. Worth looking into.[/quote]
