[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Dartmouth, workload is usually not an issue. Those who choose to take 3 classes per quarter and up having a lot of free time. There are other schools with quarter systems like Stanford or UChicago where most students take 4 classes per quarter. [/quote] Yep. My sister went to UChicago and said the quarter system was brutal. [/quote] The student ethos at UChicago is to go for 4 classes a quarter either because curiosity drives them or for early graduation due to financial reasons. Those that do 3 have plenty of spare time for ECs or to pick up internships in the city. A quarter system suits kids who like to dig very deep into fewer classes at a time. It is true though that the pace is so fast, getting seriously ill is tough to recover from. On the other hand, the kids rack up classes so fast, they conceivably can graduate in 3 years so there's room to take a quarter or two off. [/quote]
