I messed around in high school and didn't apply to the right schools and scholarships, so I ended up having to pick a reputed private school. In order to make up for it, I did my BS in math in 5 semesters by taking 23 to 27 credits per semester. The extra credits were free since I maintained a very high GPA.
I saved a ton of money on tuition, but if you factor in the opportunity cost of also earning money and experience, shaving a year off of college is easily worth $100k+ if you have to pay anywhere close to sticker price at a private college.
If you have the ability to do it, I highly suggesting graduating as soon as possible. I think England has a better system than America, with the 3 year degree in relevant course material. If I had to do it again, I would get the scholarship, do my Bachelors and do a Masters or maybe even a PhD. With the rising costs, I don't see how 4 year makes sense anymore.
