<p>Yup, indeed, UCLA is changing it to 3 years guaranteed. In fact, they seem to be encouraging people to return for a third year so that they can fill up all the new dorms.</p>
<p>And yea, due to ECP, it isn’t “often” that a person takes 5 years to graduate. And if it happens, it’ll usually be a conscious choice on the student’s part. (e.g. suddenly changing majors in your 3rd year or something)</p>
