On a similar note to above, I wouldn't recommend it if you want to go to grad school. You need recommendations from professors and you need time to develop those relationships. 2 years is pushing it quite a bit. Plus, you might not get a lot of research/internship/independent study experience.

Sure it is, just look at James Franco at UCLA :P

I am going to do it. I entered into college with a total of 3 college courses under my belt. I took a full load in the summers and 6 classes each semester. I started in the summer of 2011 and I will be done the summer of 2013. It is a lot of work...but definitely worth it. I would not have had it any other way. I get to take a year off before law school to work and save money!

I think maturity matters a lot. Even if you're an absolute genius, people won't feel very comfortable hiring someone who's 2-3 years younger than average. A lot happens in college, and maturity is something that comes with time, not the number of courses you take. In the real world, it's all about how well you fit the bill. You don't want to endure two years of insanity, without any commitment to building your own character and interpersonal skills through work and student/community organizations. It's a double loose

I looked into it at the end of my freshman year just for fun.

I took a bunch of math in high school, and one class each semester freshman year, and if I took 3 or so math classes a semester sophomore year (and I think 17/18 a semester) I could have finished all of the required math classes and gotten enough credits to graduate. I don't know if it would have actually worked, since the major requires a certain number of humanities/social science/literature/etc and I might not have met all the requirements.

Either way, I would have a very basic math degree and not much else. I want to be an engineer first and foremost, so this would be even more pointless.

Theoretically, you could, but what's the rush? I understand that it generally costs less money to do it in 2 years (well, assuming you go to a school with a flat rate instead of an hourly rate), but I think that's why it's important to choose an affordable school. College is fun, but more importantly, I feel like you learn a lot of important life skills there that take longer than 2 years to learn. And trust me, I think you'll be sorry you rushed the experience later - and I'm not talking about the "college experience" of boozing and partying, but developing relationships, doing internships, studying abroad, and finding your passion.
