classicrockdad, you make a very good point about the need to factor in opportunity costs as well. I hadn’t focused on that. As for whose “facts” are right, this number – 50 percent don’t graduate in four years – is irrefutable. I also think that for wis75 to say “don’t worry about taking extra time to graduate, enjoy yourself” shows just how out of touch she is. Easy for a 50-something medical doctor with some cash in the bank to suggest; a little harder for 18 year olds and their cash-strapped parents to implement.
