Achieving a B.S. in math within three years is possible, especially for students who enter college with advanced placement (AP) credits or who are willing to take on heavy course loads. Some participants in the discussion shared experiences of completing their degrees quickly by taking summer courses and maximizing credit hours each semester, with one individual completing a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics in just two years. However, there are differing opinions on the benefits of rushing through college. While some emphasize the importance of focusing on academics and graduating early, others argue that the university experience encompasses much more than just coursework. Engaging in extracurricular activities, social events, and personal growth is seen as equally important. Concerns about burnout and the quality of education were raised, suggesting that taking a more measured approach might enhance learning and retention. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the balance between academic ambition and the broader college experience, encouraging students to consider their personal goals and well-being while pursuing their degrees.

Wow. What country? And this wasn't a summer semester, was it? How many weeks?

I know what you mean about requiring an intensive environment. Not necessarily a stressful one. Just one that demands focus.

That was in US. it was the last spring semester.
