[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great schoool, one word of warning: It's a trimester based school. They take fewer classes but they have three sets of midterms and three sets of finals. If you have a kid that doesn't like super concentrated classes and lots of testing it will be a bad fit.[/quote] They do take more midterms and finals, but they take more classes, not fewer. Otherwise, this advice is correct. It's technically called the quarter system, but functions like a trimester since most students don't take classes the summer quarter. https://admissionblog.northwestern.edu/2017/01/10/quarters/ [/quote] I meant they take fewer classes each quarter. Most schools they take 5 each semester, at NU they take 3 or 4 each quarter. [/quote] Oh, gotcha. Sorry! I didn't realize that most schools take 5 each semester. But I believe NU students take more classes over their college career.[/quote]
