They should accept more foreign students (who never need financial aid), they could accept more students who have taken the AP courses to come in with sophomore standing, they can accept more transfers, etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161497068139772587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-38327294442060662902010-03-25T06:00:23.249+09:002010-03-25T06:00:23.249+09:00Thank god I went to a REAL university...

I never understood why so many students took so long to graduate. I understand your point about taking beneficial courses that aren't otherwise required (I took Korean, even though I didn't need to)but I have to say that a lot of students who cannot graduate in 4 years (particularly the non-science majors) need to prioritize their lives better. I graduated from a UC myself (San Diego) and it was not difficult to graduate in 4 years...in fact, a couple of my friends graduated in 3- 3 1/2 years. Those who took longer, were the ones who either changed majors (I changed my major once too) or did not know how to prioritize or kept dropping classes. It also means occasionally having to take a full schedule of credits. I was dying to get out of school...why would you want to stay longer than you have to??LastnameKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166790976278749188noreply@blogger.com
