.:How long does it take to graduate?:.

Most college students can be compared to turtles because of the length of time it takes them to actually graduate. A four-year degree seems to be a thing of the past. Less than 35 percent of students at four-year colleges actually get their degree in four years. According to a study done in 2006 by the National Center for Education Statistics, about 56 percent get their bachelor's degree in six years.

Although, some might say it is a lack of motivation to finish, Princess Williams, an FAU alumni, begs to differ. "In the College of Communication, there are a lot of requirements and classes get filled up too quickly," Williams said. It took Williams a total of five years to earn her bachelor's degree.

Many students are stunted by a lack of courses being offered. Often times, students who fail to register early don't get to enroll in some courses at all. Those courses that are mandatory for graduation, seem to fill up rather quickly and no additional courses are offered. This dilemma causes some students to have to wait to enroll until the following semester. Some courses don't have enough classes scheduled or enough professors to teach the additional classes.
