I’m almost 22 and still at a junior college. The major I want to take when I get to university is computer science. Although I’m supposed to graduate from college this year I talked to my advisor and he told me the only prerequisites I need is a few math and science courses which would take me atleast a semester or two to complete. Despite me still being at a junior college is it bad that its taking me a little longer to graduate?
nope! The main thing is that you keep up your GPA. How long it takes is not important because some people have to work to get through college.
Nothing wrong as long as you are working to move forward. Keep your grades up so you will have great choices when you transfer.
Agree, just keep moving forward in a positive manner.
.Statistically, you’re the rule, not the exception.
And if you are able to do summer classes, that will help.
Just make sure you aren’t using up all your eligibility for financial aid, such as Pell grants, but spending too many semesters working on the core classes at a two year college. Only so many credits can transfer, so pick your courses wisely.
Look up the 4 years graduation rate of your school. You will find you are not alone at all. Nevertheless, you should have planned out all the course sequence early on (at the time you declare the major) if you do not want to waste money and time. In some cases, certain required course may be offered only once a year. If you don’t have the pre-req before that, you need to wait a whole year.
