Is it normal to turn 23 before graduating from college?

[prpinrni]

Or is it unusual?

 

[OutHouse]

why does it matter??

 

[Stopsignhank]

You are good as long as you wear your pink hat during graduation.

 

[Cappuccino]

Age does not matter whatsoever! Why? Stupid question.

 

[Paratus]

5 years of college? It's called a Victory Lap!

 

[Hacp]

It is more common to have more than 4.

 

[sandorski]

Only if you were Born 23 years earlier!

 

[Printer Bandit]

Graduating later than 22 yrs old makes you a loser and friends and family will make fun of you.

Is it normal to keep posting threads that ask if things are normal ?

 

[Herr Kutz]

I was 23 when I graduated, but then again that was when I received my master's degree.

 

[DrPizza]

Sounds about right if you're earning a master's degree.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Now, get out there and learn how to live! You've got a lot of catching up to do.

College is for the unskilled.

Our daughter, who raised 2 boys and sent them off to college, went back to school herself, at 47, and eventually earned a PHD in special education. She is now working in DC as an adviser for special ed children throughout the USA. Age be damned, learn something new, meet people, and enjoy life!

I was older, since I changed majors ... But by the time I was 23, I decided I spent too much of my life being a full-time student, so I changed my part time job into a full-time job and finished school part-time.

You're on ATOT. Here it is common to graduate with every possible degree at the age of 5 and have a 666 figure job by the age of 7 (You take a year off to find a cure for everything in between of course).

That would depend on the college and or university and if one starts it right after high school. If one is 18 when they start college I would expect them to be 22 or 23 when they graduate. A 4 year degree does not automatically take 4 years especially if there are scheduling conflicts with required classes.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Depends what you're going for. I think I was around 21 when I graduated, but I could see some programs easily add more years. I went for computer science, so it was 3 years, but something like doctor or even remotely similar professions will be more years.

 

[yllus]

Hell I was 24. Ain't no thang.

i went to a cheapo tech school and graduated right before i turned 21. more well off than classmates that did the 4-6y college deal.

in fact majority of my friends that either dropped out or didnt go to college are way better off and not stuck in dead end careers. The ones that make well over 7 figures/year didnt bother with college, both of which went straight into marketing.

i cringe when people say college is the only way to make something of yourself, it isnt for everyone.

In 5 years your age at graduation will be as meaningless as a High School reunion.

that's probably young now a days..campuses are full of "social justice" majors that have been there nearly eight years pushing 30 years old..they know they wasted their time studying something that has no value in the modern STEM based work place.

If you served in the military for certain countries and then came to the States for college, it's normal to be older

Some examples: Koreans, Singaporeans, Israelis
