I am currently attending college part-time. I feel like attending school part-time has helped reduce my stress level, but I also feel like it takes a little more persistence to finish your degree as a part-time student. I think this because it takes a few extra years if you go part-time. For those of you who only attend(ed) school part-time, what was your experience with it, and how did you feel about it? Also, if you completed your degree, how long did it take?
I went part-time because I was working full-time while attending. I started at a community college and then transferred to a 4 year school. I was less motivated in the beginning, so I spent 5 years at the community college and then only 3 plus a final summer at the 4 year school. The rest of the time I took the summer off. I did not get involved in any activities on campus at either location, but that has never bothered me. I was attending in order to move forward in my career and that is what I did.
