<p>You shouldn’t have to stay more than 5 years unless you REALLY love college and you want to like triple or quadruple major and add like 3 minors on top of that. Plus I don’t think you would want to pay for an undergraduate education for that long. Unless you’re really stupid (which I doubt you are because you’re here on CC) or something bad happens (knock on wood), you shouldn’t have to stay for more than 5 years.</p>
