Question:
That's my question. what are all your thoughts on accelerated learning? Would you rather go for a faster (possibly compromised) education and get out in the job field quicker, or would you rather go for the long haul but get the full education.
Which would you rather sacrifice?
Answer:
I've just finished 4 years of university, It seemed like a long haul at the time, but now I'm all done, looking back it passed pretty quick. I'm pleased now I did the four years, but there were many times along the way I was just wanting to get out and work and never study again.
Now all I have to do is find a job after all of that.
Answer:
I'm sort of planning to do an accelerated one year MBA program after I finish my undergraduate work. I don't think I could handle an accelerated undergrad program, though... too much variety in course topics would throw me off. I have to focus my mind.
In His love,
Nate
Answer:
College is fun and the real world is responsibility...Unless family finances dictate that you try and hurry, don't rush through your education. You meet some great people, are exposed to all sorts of new experiences and ideas, and have a whole lot of fun. You've got the rest of your life to work. Have fun now.
Answer:
I'm attending college to get a degree, but I'm also attending because I expect it to be an enjoyable experience. Why rush things?
Answer:
I like the non-rushed feeling. I'm taking an acelerated 400-level class right now (3 credits in three week), and I feel like I'm missing a lot of the subtleties of the class that I would get if I took the semester long version.
So I'm all for taking your time and making the most of it. Although it would be nice to be done now instead of next year...
Answer:
I would agree that if you don't HAVE to do an accelerated program, then take your time. However, there are many very good accelerated programs that allow you to work a normal work week and go to classes on weekends. (Lesley University for example) It is very demanding according to people that I have known that have done it, but they feel is was worth it. But, it's probably best to just take your time
Answer:
Definitely 3 years than 1 year. I don't want to grow up and face the job field so soon
Answer:
I luxuriated in college. I didn't want to graduate early. When I go to Seminary (eventually), I'll probably aim for 3 years, though 4 years is not out-of-the-question.

Why rush things? ok, here I am butting in 2 months later... I can answer this one, though! Because his wife will be working (one or 2 jobs) to pay the bills while he goes to school and wonders how she'll do that and remain a little bit sane for 3 whole years.
welcome to the real world & family finances.
Answer:
I'm graduating a semester early (God willing) because:
1. As much as I like Baylor, I want OUT
2. Tuition is something like $7,000/semester, even with scholarships and loans
Answer:
Definately 3 years!
uni is about so much more than getting a degree. I have made friends here who I fully expect to remain closer friends with for many years to come and that just wouldn't happen if i was trying to do a whole degree in a year!
God Bless, Rich

welcome to the real world & family finances. Ah the real world. One of the reasons I refuse to date, court, marry, or otherwise become entangled with a member of the opposite (and, I might add, fairer) sex until I am done with school.
I do feel sympathy for the folks who are married and in school. That would be rough.
