20? No. I was 17 when I started college, turned 18 at the end of November, and graduated at age 21. Never did summer school, CLEP didn't exist then.
So did daughter, except she also took classes every summer and had to wrangle a deal with her adviser so that she could graduate in 4 years and not 4 1/2 years (thanks to a course that was ONLY given in the spring except, of course, for the spring she planned to take it).
She did know a bunch of students who were 22 before they could get in all their courses.
I'm sure there are plenty of 20-year-old degree holders out there, but far fewer than older grads. Why hurry? Stay in school and enjoy that easy life!
