But the problem was we had students who were taking five years, six years, seven years." The Case Of Various Universities • Rutgers University: According to the information of the school which it gives to the state, almost half of the students of the university are able to graduate within 4 years but onefourth of the number of the students take 5 or 6 years to complete courses. The students take an amount of $6,229 in
average for the extra years of studying. • Rowan University: Students who take almost 6 years to graduate take an average amount of $4,600. • Stockton University: Here the students take a more increased rate of debt that becomes around $4,700. What Are The Experts Saying? According to the director of leadership and centre service of Kean University, the result is, however, not disheartening as the students are not yielding to fall behind.

The Viewpoint Online education has the ability of reducing the financial problem and to save time. Theobald thinks that students working in a shorter time period perform better
academically. He Said "We still have that myth though, and people talk about - and kind of put on a pedestal - the idea of working your way through college. That simply isn't possible in the modern world, the math doesn't work.”
