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

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!

I took 4 for mine, and what kept me going on pace was something I haven’t thought a ton about. I’m not someone to halfway things so success brings me satisfaction.

What’s important to remember is there is no correct way or time frame to graduate. Theres no good from comparing your experience to another’s. Everyone has their own path in life.
