Why is there overlap in the choices?

Quite RLY. Good thing you're not in my research methods class or my professor would rip you a new one.

I read it as if you've been here less than one year, between one and two years, two and three years, etc., since it is pretty unlikely that anyone has been here for exactly 1/2/3/etc. years, given that its the middle of the semester. Granted, it could have used some clarification so people wouldn't have to assume, but do you really expect the best quality of random questions from seek?

not that I fall into this category, but are we talking about one contiguous stay or just total time spent in Rolla, attending MSM/UMR/MST

EDIT: nvm, re-read question

Oh. I guess I should have voted 2-3 instead of 3-4 as I am currently in my 6th semester.

That is what I was going for considering we are in the middle of a semester.

O:-)

The problem being it overlaps with all the other categories because "too long" = "greater than a day"

It took me 6 years to graduate and now I'm working for the University. (Been here since 1999, 3 major changes and took time off in the middle, and have been working for the University now for about a year.)

How long you been here?
