I could have graduated a semester early and wish now that I had done it. I don’t think it would have affected my experience (though I wouldn’t have given the commencement speech if I had left early). I think a middle ground might be possible. If you can take a couple graduate courses in the first semester of year four, that moves you along your path and addresses some of the concerns you have. Then you can save thousands (likely over $10k) by graduating a semester early. I paid my own way through school and graduated about 15 years ago. I’ll be paying loans back until my 4 year old son turns 15. Debt will have a limiting effect on your choices in the future and I recommend trying to minimize it now.
