Speaking of 4 years, another good point is that you should make it clear to your kid that college is a 4-year endeavor. Not 5. Not 6. Not 8. I'll cover my daughter for 4 years of undergraduate school. If she decides to change her major 6 times and needs 5 or more years to earn a degree, she's going to have to foot the bill, or at least a much bigger piece of it.

AT my school it was impossible for me to graduate on time. In my last semester, I needed 3 specific courses to graudate. All 3 met at the same time. Had I been able to clone myself, or been dishonest and paid off friends to pose as me, I would have graduated that semester. Unfortunately I had to wait due to the scheduling conflicts. This was a SUNY (State Univ. of NY) school and I know I was not the only student in this situation.
