<p>Yes, many students take more than 4 years. Doing so does not mean you have failed or any such thing. Many people change their majors at a point that might make completing all the requirements for the new major impossible in the time remaining from the original 4 years. Others take risks and sometimes end up dropping or failing classes-college is a good time to take academic risks. Try a course in an area you never considered. I think it is better to do that even if you fail the class than taking safe classes and protecting your GPA. I think the values and the striving for grades over reaching for challenges is the ruin of the college system. Some programs are designed as 5 or 6 year programs. That includes programs in engineering and architecture, among others. So many people who are successful, hard working, motivated and capable take more than 4 years. It is nothing to be ashamed of. </p>
