How many years did it take you to finish college?

hi there satan...

it took me long to finally be out of school too...

I tooke a business management course (which is 4 years...) but was able to graduate in 3 years...

I overloaded my time with units... talk to the dean to allow me to do that...


since I am a dean's lister (sort of A student), she allowed...


after that I took a 6-month associate in health science course...and graduated...


after that I enrolled in Nursing(another 4 year course) and graduated in 3 years time....


that's about 6 and 1/2 years for 3 couses....


...and now i look back at all the time i spent in school....

and even if anybody pays me..i'm not going back to school anymroe.

I don't know if you will find it funny or disturbing, but it took me nine and a half years to finish college. Well, seven and a half in total being in school. Two years out of school. I just wasn't much into studying then, where I kind of prioritized extra curricular activities like theater and work. I worked part time in a computer shop from which I was taking my extra spending money. I got into theater productions outside school which didn't pay well but it was okay for providing a little more extra cash. Earning your own money really distracts you from studying, big time. So after five and a half years since getting into college, I took a breather and turned my part time jobs into full time. After two years, I decided to get done with my studies because I realized it would make finding a job easier (for which I'm mistaken as evident with my current status - unemployed and broke!) and I never wanted to leave any business unfinished so I got it all done in two years, just as I forecast. No regrets though, I learned quite a lot and met people which I might not have learned and might not have met if ever I became a straight A student. It's all cool, and finding a job will come in its own time...hopefully.

I know of a friend who will be graduating after ten years of college. Of course, this person underwent brain surgery in the middle of the college years which slowed the process of completing classes. It will be a wonderful day when they complete their studies because it means much more than just the usual attending of a college and graduating. It was a real uphill struggle that is almost complete and a new phase of life will begin!

I did not finish college, as I was hired right away after OJT in one big broadcasting company! My course was a four year course, But I manage to take all subjects in two years and six months, it's like I only have 4 "useless" subjects left.

i had 5 years of Medical Technology. And i wouldnt even be embarrassed to say that i flunked 3 subjects. Man it was so hard despite all those studies! I had been crying in vain, been all sleepless and still flunked it??!!

I passed the board and had flying colors. Man it has to be worth it!

Right now, i work as a medical claims analyst. It is so far from the course that ive taken but it sure is an advantage because i am knowledgeable in medical science.

Don't feel bad I know how your feeling. It's taking me 6 years to finish. Things happen and sometimes we have to take a semester off and stuff. A lot of my friends are take 5 or more years. That extra year is so good for you. I plan on going longer for my masters and then one day my Doctrine. Good luck just keep it moving. You will make it through.

Hi,friend,I completed my degree in scheduled time i.e 4 years degree in BSc[Agri],but it took 3 years to complete postgraduation i.e MSc[Agri] specialization in Genetics and Plant breeding.Because the thesis i wrote was not satisfied to our GUIDE [professor],that's why delayed by 1 year.

I went to a 4 year college and I graduated in 4 years! I took all the summer courses I could, every single year . . . so actually I could have graduated in 3-1/2 years if I wanted to. I wanted to stay on for the graduation ceremonies and keep in good contact with friends, so I stuck around. I took the last semester to take some fun classes that I've been wanting to take - so it was a good way to end college!

Don't feel bad; it's going to take me 5 years to graduate college in total, too. I'm in my second year right now, but because I'm taking a semester off (to save up for school again), I'm going to be gradauting a little late (unless I can somehow make up 20 credits in the next 2 years, in addition to what I'll be doing then).*shrugs*. As long as you graduate eventually!

I guess "college" depends on which type of degree you are persuing. Right now, I've been in college for three years. I have my AA and a year done in my radiation therapy program through the hospital. I have a year of clinical rotations left, then (cross your fingers) if all goes well and I pass my boards I will have my AA in general science and my degree of certification to administer radiation therapy. That will be four years for those two degrees but after I graduate this program I'll be entering into a one year certificate through the hospital for sonograms. Then when I am done with that I plan to just wrap it all up and get my bachelor's of health. So when all is said and Done, I should probably be in college for about 7 years. Will it be worth it? Well i guess I will have to wait and see:) As of right now, I am very stressed, very busy, and my ambition for each day is to get at least 90 minutes of sleep at night time.
