[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]… he has many friends that are either juniors in college or else taking closer to 5 years to graduate (most of the 4+ year graduates are from big OOS schools-- too hard to graduate in 4 years at those places). [/quote] Any given student an have a wonderful time at any school, but the the five-year bachelor’s track is a reason to consider sending kids to more flexible private schools, if that’s possible. Brandeis and Case Western aren’t more prestigious UCLA, for example, but the percentage of students who have a hard time graduating in four years purely because of scheduling problems is probably very low. For a student who would have even a low-paying job after college, the cost of an extra OOS year at a place like UCLA is about $60,000 for the extra year in school, plus at least $50,000 in lost income.[/quote]
