<p>no one said you had to have a peachy relationship with your adviser. its not like you’re dating the person. your relationship should be professional. </p>

<p>if you can’t finish in 9 semesters, you can’t do anything. if you could stay in undergrad as long as you wanted, you’d probably hear of more triple or quadruple majors. especially if the state is paying their tuition via financial aid. if you <em>can</em> finish in 8 semesters, i don’t understand why your adviser is being anal about a simultaneous degree. if this is the case (can finish in 8 sems) then i say you have every right to dispute your adviser barring you from pursuing your degree path. </p>
<p>but still, if you can’t stand up to your adamant adviser, i don’t see how you can plan to do anything else but to take her load on your face to be honest. crystal ball into the future perhaps if you dont balls up IMO, no offense</p>
