It's consistent with your two data points ulmont.  If it's 55 months for people who never left, then 6 years 7 for all students, including those that left and came back, is reasonable.  And 58% finishing in 6 years is consistent with an average of  6.7, since the distribution is going to be one-tailed.

Correction: you *would* have been rich. But you broke the request for confidentiality. Now the treasure can never be yours.  :(

Yeah, but counting students who left and came back, potentially 5 years or more later, seems disingenuous.

According to former Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander, writing in Time, the average time it currently takes to complete an undergraduate degree in the US is 6 years and 7 months. (!)

Sounds about right.  It takes time to perfect beer bong technique.

They don't know spicy from ketchup.  No, that's not hyperbole.  I asked for spicy and THEY GAVE ME A SAUCE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM KETCHUP.

You might want to ask for "Korean spicy" or similar.  Otherwise, you get "American spicy" which is indistinguishable from ketchup.

I once had Korea's mom (full Korean) ask for me, in Korean, extra spicy food.  It reached maybe the rarefied heights of black pepper. -_-

Korean food justifies the Japanese occupation.

What dish did you order?  If you order a bowl of plain rice asking for it extra spicy is not going to do much to it.

:rolleyes: Black pepper.

The red pepper paste they put on everything is 20 times more intense than black pepper.
