[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if kids who do this will regret it 10 or 20 years down the line? Like that whole eager to grow up thing, undergrad is soooo lame and passe. :roll:

...then in 20 years you realize how much fun and carefree college was.

Don't get me wrong, rather have our children graduate early than take 5 6 7 years to finish. But I don't really get the rush to finish and leave campus in 3 or 3.5 years.[/quote]

Well, we know for certain that kids who take 4 or 5 years with 6 figures student loan debt regret it every single day, so...[/quote]

It's all about the Benjamins--college is expensive.  If you leave a semester early, that's 25K saved at some private schools.  For some graduates, starting salaries can be in the 30K range and it all adds up.[/quote]

This. Everyone I know who graduated earlier did it for money reason. My daughter would have to do that too because she had enough IP classes to graduate in 3 years. However, she got a full scholarship and we are encouraging her to do a full 4 years. We will see if she still wants to do it. [/quote]
