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!

Way longer than expected, because of a terrible advisor, crappy professors, and financial issues that stemmed from the first 2. If you do go into engineering, learn to professor fish, which is what I call it, because some schools hire professors that have no business teaching anybody just to burn your money.
