I Plan On Graduating In 2.5 Years (5 Semesters) - Should I Mention This During An Interview?

Like the title says, I plan on graduating from a semi-target in 2.5 years (5 semesters) with a double major in finance and entrepreneurship. I have taken a full course load every semester, as my classes have been fairly easy, and I hold a 3.90 GPA.

Should I let the interviewer know, as they may be impressed by my work ethic? Or, should I only bring it up if directly asked, as they might see me as immature?

Unless it's for money's sake... why would you do this? Don't you want to experience the fun side of college -- friends, football, clubs, parties, meeing guys/girls... and just working 3-6 hours a day instead of 12-15? I don't get it.   

 

Money is a large factor - I don't want my parents to have to pay $320k for something I can get done for $200k. Also, I work 3-5 hours a day and my weekends are completely free 90% of the time.
