I refused to get any loans or aid (junkie oil field family means I didn't qualify for many anyway despite being poor in reality) and because you can't enroll for classes with an outstanding balance I had a lot of "only one class for my degree and a bunch of filler" semesters, especially once you reach senior year and they teach each class once to a group of 15 out of 400 in the program. Its why I have a lot of math and engineering classes under my belt despite being a Psych major.
It sounds bad except I graduated with a degree, and a lot of actual diverse education learned, and zero debt, gaining a lot of work experience long before I was out.
Slow boat on a bachelor's + a master's can easily be a decade. That, or two bachelor's, since the DOE decided years ago that classes that apply for one degree cannot apply to another.
a decade of college 👀

Wait when did they decide that? I have dual BS degrees and that woulda ruined that for me.
I know it was sometime before 2014. And it did ruin my dual BS for me. As well as my hopes of a cheap dual MS.
Huh, I graduated after that and was able to get away with it, but maybe I had enough different that it was allowed.
BSc, MSc, PhD, if you sum up is 10 years
Lots of people go to college for seven years
