<p>I never really gave this much thought because it wasn’t readily apparent to me; But if I were to choose between two universities to enroll to, should maximum course articulation and faster time to graduation be a significant factor (as opposed to quality of student life and education) in my enrollment decision? Or is it worth being in a subjectively “better” program if it means taking longer to finish the degree?</p>
<p>Of course, I will contact each admission office to evaluate where I stand as of now. Yet, I was curious if anyone has had any personal experience related to this, or have an opinion in retrospect.</p>
<p>There are pro’s and con’s for everything:</p>
<p>Graduating faster means getting your degree quicker and out in the workforce. But who knows what opportunity like a rare internship or personally meeting a CEO you’ll be missing out on.</p>
<p>And vice-versa if you were to graduate late.</p>
<p>However, go to college to NETWORK–graduating should come second.</p>
<p>Wow. I really like what lawlking said about going to college to network.
I am going to probably remember that forever.</p>
<p>It really depends on your personal preferences. Would you want to graduate and start work in less time or attend a great school for the better program?</p>
<p>Think about why you wanna graduate early. Or rather how you can benefit from it. Some people do it just to graduate as young as they can. Years and years from now, no one will care if you’ve been working 37 years or 36 years.</p>
