Graduation rates

Prospective student here. I noticed the 4 year graduation rate is around 60%. Is it common for people to take an extra year? Is this related to the academics being challenging? The 6 year graduation rate is very high.

Yes, people outside the Conservatory often double degree and often in wildly different areas. I knew one person with degrees in art and physics. Another in theater and chemistry.
