Is it normal to graduate college at 26?

I decided to change majors a little late, so I'll end up being in college until I'm 26. I feel really strange because I know most of my peers will be much younger especially if I'm taking sophomore classes this fall. Is it normal to feel this way and to graduate this late?

    It's never to late for college. Keep it up! At least you are trying to improve yourself. Wish there were more people like you, instead of trolling the streets wondering what trouble they can start.

    It's only to late if your dead.

    Weird how I'm in the same boat, so all in all, it's not that strange or abnormal.

    It is YOUR life so you do whatever you need to do and not care about what other people think. In the end it doesn't matter.

    For me, I basically dicked around for a year in college, which was right after I left high school. Then spent the next two years just working and doing some more dicking around (aka, doing nothing with my life). and that's where I'm at now. I'll be going back for Environmental Science soon!

    I'll be in my 40's when I graduate college. I have about 10 classmates that are my age, so feel about graduating at any age.

    Dude I'm in the same boat. I changed majors from Criminal Justice to Environmental Science, and next year I'm going for my Masters. Don't worry. What are you majoring in?

    Yeah it's normal. Most people change their majors all the time and that logically adds more time in school.
