I know the basic is four years.. but for a regular student, does it take longer? Maybe five years?

four years.but it depends on the interest you have in the subjects you choose. if you live in a city where educational psychologists are available, take aptitude test and the outcome of that test will reveal in which subject you have interest.

Four years is the standard. I did a study on a small university several years ago and found that slightly less than half the graduates finished in four years. Most of the others finished in five years but some, who took time off to study or work abroad, etc., took even longer.

It depends on your school and what degree you are going for. A smaller college may only offer certain required courses every few years. So no matter how many classes you complete, you still have to wait until the last few you need are offered.
Also some degrees (such as teaching) require an on- the- job practicum. The student teaching segment for some states is an entire semester by itself.

usually it takes you around 4 1/2 to 5 years since there are so many classes and each semester you may not take 15 credit hours or 20 but less! also, take summer school into consideration and for a regular BS Degree is 128-136 credit hours; for education it takes you longer to get certified and so forth but i think 6 credt hours more...plus everything depends upon each load per semester that you take as well as what classes you take...you can do 21 credit hours or you can do like me and do 15 and w/ 21 it takes you a shorter time...there are man factors involved

It depends on the major. Technical degrees, such as engineering, generally take longer than an MRS degree in human development. Average for engineering is 4.5 years. MRS degrees take 4 years, but that includes copious time spent hubby shopping.

The statistics here, at Purdue University, say that about 23% get one in 4 years, 38% in five, and the rest take longer. It will probably vary by the difficulty of the college you are attending and program you are enrolled in.

Average is actually right about 4 (4.2ish) because whie some take more, the vast majority do finish in 4 years and some finish even faster.

4 is the ideal but some like to take a semester or 2 off so it turns into 5

four to five years depending on where you are in school. sometimes you are "tracked" and required to finish in four years. other programs require at least 5 years of work, undergrads in architecture for example often require an extra year of classes.
