[quote=Anonymous]WPI has a quarter system and the students love it. They focus on 3 classes at a time. Tend to go to all of them 4 days a week and off one day. You can easily set it up as a Wed or Fri for an entire study and work day. They also all go overseas for one quarter in sophomore or junior year. They get 3 credits to do meaningful things. They also have at least a full week between 1-2 and 3-4. A month off between 2-3. A very long summer. You can take a summer course first if needed and still do a summer internship. Harder courses like Calc are split into 4 courses instead of 3. Many group products and collaborations but down on excessive reading. It is very hands-on project base. Not sure if U Chicago is the same. My friend’s daughter graduated computer science in 3.5 years and had a job before she graduated. And that was with going to New Zealand for a quarter. My kids are her interested in this approach. [/quote]
