@Francis7 posted:Two things to consider:
1. There are MANY kids, period, who need more than 4 years to get their bachelor's degree. I thought that I read somewhere recently that it's not unreasonable to expect a kid these days to need 4 1/2 years.
2. Never underestimate the hopes and dreams factor. Look at how many seniors in college last year are coming back for another year this year. I thought almost no one would do it for all the logical reasons. But, it seems like most are doing it for the illogical reason.
@Francis7 I did 4 1/2 years in the 80's, but then again, the college I went to cost 3k for the entire year. Paid my own way after freshmen year because I messed up the spring semester of the freshman year.
Not focused, played Baseball, student lounge. etc.
Results 4 D's and a B.
Mother said I was a bad return on her investment.
Real talk.
