I attended community college for 3 years but didnt get a degree. I then transferred to a 4-yr university in 2011 and will graduate after 7 semesters (3.5 yrs).

So once I graduate and people ask me how many years I have been in college, could I just say 3.5 years or do I have to include the time I spent in community college?
