No. Just go at your own pace. Don't let people rush you through things. You can only please yourself.

If I was going to college it would take me about 6 yrs to do a 2 yr degree. I find it better to take 1 class at a time per semester because you learn more from that class rather that cramming 5 a semester and not really learning anything. It all depends if ya want it in the allowed time of 2, 4 or 6 yrs or you do it at your own pace.

That can depend on the degree and the ferver at which you study. Some students prefer to work part time and go to school part time and some areas of study are difficult to complete in such a short amount of time. An engineering degree, for example can commonly take six years for a 4 year degree.

Definitely not. It took me 6 years to get a 4 year degree. You take time off, you have a slower semester, you have issues at home to deal with...some courses are harder than others. I had to retake a couple of classes. Don't be too hard on yourself. At least you are getting your degree! You could be settling for a GED and a McD's hat, but you're not. Be proud of yourself, no matter how long it takes!

when they say it is a 4 year degree it usually means taking 15+ hours a semester with at least two summer sessions. Move how you want ot move and do not be ashamed of graduating in 5 years. Good Luck

It depends on why it took you a year longer:
good if:
you decided to study additional subjects or got interested in some in-depth;
you took a year-off or hade a minor delay in studying because of active participation and being in a position of responsibility in a student assosiation/sports assosiation/volunteering somewhere;
you had health/family/stress/ other significant issues, in which case only a year delay is comendable;
not as good if:
you kept failing courses all the time, because that might suggest you chose a wrong course;

No, once you are out of school for a few years, nobody will notice. If you are really worried about it, just put the ending year on your resume (e.g. Completed 200X). It's more important that you FINISH your degree than the amount of time it took to get it done. Good luck to you.

Oh no...It took me an extra 6 months to get my degree. I just look at it this way, i stayed in school longer, so hopefully i will be a little smarter. Take your time, dont rush. I tried to rush one quarter(we go quarters not semesters) and had to repeat 2 of the classes. So just take you time.

Not at all. Some of us have to work and go to school. Sometimes we fail a class or two. Stick to it. I'd say you are doing great if it only takes 5 years.

It's not bad at all.
You should be proud of yourself for doing it, regardless of how long it takes.
Lots of people take more than 4 years to get their degree!

No, it isn't bad. Just don't get discouraged and give up on it. Ten years from now you will be glad that you did, and it won't matter that it took you an extra year to get your degree.
