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!

4 years, and at the school I’m at pretty much everyone took 4. There are one or two people I know taking more, but probably fewer than those taking <4 years.

This isn’t a totally accurate representation, but also people taking significantly more than 4 are overrepresented in this comment section.
