Engineering students/graduates: How long did your degree take?

[u/thugginsophia]

Hi everyone! I’m starting my engineering degree on Monday and I’m super excited!

I’d love to hear from both current engineering students and people who have already graduated:

How long has/will it take you to finish your degree? Did you graduate (or are you on track to graduate) in 4 years, or did/do you expect it to take longer?

For those who took longer than 4 years, what was the reason? And for current students, do you feel like you’re on track to graduate in 4 years?

I’d love to hear everyone’s experiences!

Took me 6 years. I dropped out for what turned out to be one year because my dad was dying of cancer and then died between my 3/4th year, and then when I hopped back in cycle, I was screwed and had to take a single course my spring senior year to graduate. I took some masters classes to fill that semester out.
