How much does a low graduation rate bother you?

I keep hearing that it typically takes five years to complete a four-year degree at our flagship, UoIllinois (Urbana campus); the Chicago campus has an even lower 4-year graduation rate. Friends’ son was enterred last year with understanding that he was a red-shirted athlete who would attend on a 5-year BS degree track. Other friends have told us their kids’ inability to enroll in all their requisite classes, which often leads to an extra year too.
