<p>Wow. Vienna man, I went into college as a sophomore (academically) after years of AP, and I work to pay off half of my tuition every year. I am probably going to spend 4 years in college because I’m double majoring, and I am planning on using my summers for internships, like I am doing this year. I could easily graduate in 3 years with one major, but I realized it would leave no room for me to explore my intellectual interests or to pursue worthwhile commitments outside of school. I’m sorry if this comes off as a little personal here, but your generalization about 4 year grads as “slow”, “slackers” and “suckers” was offensive. Of course, people have their reasons for graduating in 3 years, and I respect that, but similarly, just because some of us value academia and want to take in the opportunities only undergraduate experiences can offer doesn’t make us any less than them. I cannot believe 4 year graduates now have to justify themselves for what was always the average expected rate of graduation. Yes, times change, but there is a reason people going into college this year still call themselves the Class of 2013.</p>
