Cats are weird.
We've got a new kitten to look after- its one of the babies of mommy cat but was given away some time back.
At first the two resident cats hated its guts. The mother cat especially were hissing at it like hell. There was even a little scuffle between it and its sister where the new one barricaded itself in a draw and attacked the other one as it tried to investigate too.
Now though suddenly...the two kittens are best friends and do everything together.

I forgot I was chatting through the website and left the site. Then I said fuck it and went to bed.

....wtf?
Aren't they supposed to take 4 years there?
I've known people to fail one year and resit but if you fail twice then its really time to quit.

They could be simply taking the classes at a slower pace. Not failing necessarily.

It seems incredible to me that this would be average.

It doesn't look right.

First-time recipients of bachelor's degrees in 1999–2000 who had not stopped out of college took about 55 months from first enrollment to degree completion.

http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/2003/section3/indicator21.asp

About 58 percent of first-time students seeking a bachelor's degree or its equivalent and attending a 4-year institution full time in 2000-01 completed a bachelor's degree or its equivalent at that institution within 6 years.
