Ahh, the great quarters system of Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. At first it's nice to hear that each quarter is only like 10 weeks long, but after a while you just dread each quarter. It's good for about 2 weeks, but then from the third week on, it's just a continuous stream of tests, midterms, finals. Neverending actually. But fear not, the year is almost over for those not enrolling in Summer quarter. It may suck right now since everyone on semesters has long been on break, but fear not! You'll get your chance to laugh at them come September.

To those on quarters, good luck on finals this week. Freedom awaits in just a few days.

PS: Personally, I prefer semesters. Quarters just seem so damn rushed. Anyways, off to take my final.

damn man

Quarters don't look like a very good idea to, I'm loving the idea of semesters. I've only got 2 more weeks worth of finals and there'll be hardly any stress until February.

Good luck to all of you with your finals!

i liked trimesters (which are pretty much like the quarters you're talking about, since there wasn't a summer trimester...) but i'm going to a semester school next year. we'll see about that.

quarters are nice cuz you're constantly enrolling in new classes and getting new professors, so if you don't like a class/professor it's not a huge deal. also you have less classes to focus on at a time, so that's nice, too.

HOWEVER, it sucks for me because I'm looking for a summer job now and they've all been taken by semester kids t.t guess I should have applied for an internship...sigh

I went to a university with quarters. It was a constant zergrush of midterms, projects, and exams. On the plus side, if a class sucked extra hard, it would be over soon. And I got to take a lot of interesting classes.

Yeah, the quarter system comes at you fast. If you fall behind, the work buries you very quickly.

Which reminds me.. 3 days of finals starting in an hour and a half.. gg

I hate the quarters system. It feels like everything that I learn in the previous term doesn't get enough time to cement, so I end up learning nothing at all.

I did quarters for my undergrad and now that I'm in semesters, I like it 100x more. So much more relaxed and I don't feel like I'm constantly rushing.

Prefer quarter system because I can take so many classes. Also when you review for final there's only 9 weeks worth of material

Except, in those 9 weeks is crammed what one would learn in a semester.
