Talk:Super senior

Related term (Header added)
There's a related term in collateralized debt obligations in part responsible for the downfall of AIG, who mispriced them - see http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/aig-execs-say-super-senior/story.aspx?guid={6A12F8EA-7D5B-4978-A8BA-33944DE992F8}

If there's going to be a page on super senior collateralized debt obligations it'll need to disambiguate here.

Poor Choice of Classes
I'm tempted to add poor counselor/adviser advice under the poor choice of classes section, but I have no citation save seeing my friends get screwed over back in the day. That said, this article doesn't have many citations at all. I also have a moral dilemma about putting up that bit, because most advisers do know what they're doing and I don't want to scare current students into poor choices. 49giantsharks (talk) 18:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Added 5 Year Programs and Community College Transfers Subsections under Causes
I have added Subsections on 5 Year Programs and Community College Transfers under Causes since it dosen't seem that anyone has addressed them yet.

Also if someone takes a Year off from school but is only in their 4th Year of actual schooling then they are generally not considered "Super Seniors"- even if they may be 5 or more years out of High School (that is sometimes true with Co-Ops as well)- I'm thinking maybe that should be addressed. Usually "Super Senior" status doesn't kick in until some is in their 9th Semester (if it is a 2 semester per year college otherwise adjust accordingly) of taking classes or later —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.40.217 (talk) 23:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

When 5th year is not super senior
In schools where 5 years is the norm, due to either a five-year program or a co-op program, the term super-senior is not used, at least not until the 6th year. Instead such schools will have an additional named year. For example, at Northeastern University, the normal term is 5 years, and the third year is called "Middler" year. After that, fourth year is junior year and fifth year is regular senior year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.82.135.13 (talk) 20:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
