My first degree took me 6 years (5 regular ones - which currently includes MSc, and one to catch up on the courses I had behind) and I'm on the second year of my current degree (though that one hasn't been paid for yet). So yeah, I've nearly doubled your time :P

But yes, after talking with folk that did their studies in other countries it did cross my mind how cheap college education is over here.

My BA took 10 years (though I did burn through four majors and took three years off in the middle). I'll be done with my MS in another semester, then it is on to Ph.D.-ville! Yay!

Traded mine in, but was thinking of getting it for PC. Thing is, Every time I think of returning to that world, I put it off for another couple of weeks. Mind you, had Dishono(u)red since release and haven't played past the first ten minutes; so many games so little time...

I think that's quite speculative, however I do have some interest in knowing if that actually solved the problem.

How could they not see that this would cause huge issues... At the very least, every 16 and 17 year old who could previously drink, suddenly can't. In addition, every 15 year old who was just about to be able to, will be full of resentment (especially if you were like me with a birthday at the end of the academic year).

Underage drinking will become a massive problem for atleast 3 years until those age groups become old enough to legally drink, at which point it'll be far too late to stop it because it will be engrained in all teenagers mind's that they will drink irrespective of the law. Silliness.

Gah, I hate it when countries think they can solve an "underage" problem, by raising the age limit further, it just does not make any god damn sense.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast...

That would only leave two days to buy Christmas presents.
