When most people decide to attend college in our current era, they tend to visualize the journey in a 4-year window. Some decide to go farther in their studies than 4 years and some go shorter, it is all in the eye of the beholder. In my case I decided to go a full 4 years even though I could have graduated sooner. The reason why is because I decided to earn as much as I can during my time here at Purdue. For some money and commitment can become an issue in the length of their college journey which I then recommend that they do the best they can within those constraints. For those who can do more within their constraints I would recommend doing the most you can. If you can handle heavy credit loads, try to complete 2 majors. If you have many qualifying credits from high school attempt to earn multiple minors if you don’t desire to complete another major. If you or someone else is paying for you to earn a degree, it makes the most sense to me to get what you can while there. Purdue has given me a great opportunity because I did not come in with many credits from high school, but I was able to work hard and earn many credits early that now allows me the availability to complete 2 minors in addition to my major.
