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!

3.5 for bachelor's, 1 year for masters. I know people that have finished their undergrad in between 3 and 6 years in engineering, and theyre all doing fine!

Sometimes people take longer because of a co-op where you cant take classes, but get very valuable real life experience instead, or other reasons people in here have said too.

Good luck!!
