Re: Who here finished college in 4 years?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] the jock classes still require you to do work to get the A. normal classes require you to do work to get a B. it's the Cs that are easy here. so yes, i guess if you just want to have a 2.0 GPA, then college could be easy. i don't think most people are going for a 2.0, though. [/ QUOTE ] D's get degrees. [/ QUOTE ] actually, they don't.

Re: Who here finished college in 4 years?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] at ohio state almost every major is at least 5 years minimum [/ QUOTE ] Wow, seriously? I would love to stay for 5 years (and I might anyway, 4+1 masters ftw) but it really is not hard to graduate in 4. Especially if you come in with any AP credits whatsoever and make doubly sure to check for courses that fill more than one requirement. [/ QUOTE ] I graduated in 4 years in chemistry from tosu. I think the only 5 year bs majors at ohio state are in engineering, where you are supposed to do a 6 month internship. Most of my friends took longer than 4 years, but that was due to beer drinking and switching majors...

[/ QUOTE ] I have tons of scholarship monies that I only get if my GPA is >3.5, and while it's super annoying sometimes, I have to admit that it's a good thing because it motivates me to put some effort in. I know I wouldn't otherwise.

Re: Who here finished college in 4 years?
I graduated in 4 years with two degrees...a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering and minor in Mathematics. I played football for 2 years and baseball all 4 years. I partied my ass off, my grades weren't amazing (~3.0), but I got through it.
I still don't understand how most people can't get out in 4 years. It is all about people being lazy...

[/ QUOTE ] where do you go/how hard is it to fulfil all those classes, cause that combination of degrees sounds really cool and im already applying EE

Re: Who here finished college in 4 years?
electrical engineering and computer engineering have a lot of overlap, so it doesn't require a lot of extra effort to get dual degrees.

[/ QUOTE ] okay, i don't really want to type this out because i'll probably be called a douchebag or whatnot, but maybe this is why having a degree from a "top" school means so much in certain majors. i'm at stanford, and i can assure you i am here on merit. but i could not go to 1/2 my classes and not study and get a 3.0. i'm mechanical engineering, if that makes any difference. but yeah, maybe that's why such respect is given to engineering degrees from top schools, because we actually have to work super hard for those degrees. if you are indeed going to a top school and doing a techie major, then i applaud you. you would probably be smarter than me in that case.
