I have some engineering major friends and they will be doing 5 years.
Its pretty common to take 5 years for that major.

"According to the latest data available from the U.S. Department of Education, 4.2 percent of college graduates from 2001 earned their bachelor'sdegrees within three years. A total of 57 percent graduated within four years, and 39 percent took more than four years to graduate."

I don't think the percentages would've changed that much from 2001.

One of my roommates took an extra semester, but, outside of that, I don't know anyone who took more than four years.

Four years, should have been 3.5 but my school only offered this one class in the spring.

Same here....changed my major 3 times....partied like their was no tomorrow freshman year=my graduation date pushed wayyyy back.
My major is extra complicated-and I know NO ONE who graduated in my department less than 5yrs.
I am graduating in May though.

Im doing it right now this is my final semester I just took 5 classes each semester butits hard as hell. I recommen to everyone try taking 1 class during thesummer and 1 during th ewinter break or 2 during the summer as it will help speed up the time you have to graduate. Good luck to eveyone

I graduated in four years, got on academic probation my freshman year (Professors in NYC have no heart, we were barely 2 weeks in school, when 9/11 happened),so dont believe the hype it can be done, just gotta get on your grind during the summer (actually PAYING for it, and take at LEAST a class during every summerperiod), It all pays off, my last semester, I didnt even have a course that took a final..........
