[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do your kids think of the quarter system at places like UCLA, Stanford, Northwestern, UChicago, Union College, etc? Con: fast paced, so assessments come up quickly. Schedules not great for summer internships. Can’t study abroad at other programs easily. Pro: more classes absorbs a low grade in to GPA more easily. More classes allow opportunities to try out different subjects. Easier to double major. Get out of a bad class more quickly. [/quote] Both my DH and I went to schools with quarters and now have had two out of our 4 kids at schools with quarters. We all studied abroad (fall lines up nicely) and my kids have had no problem getting internships. Most people understand what the quarter system is. I liked that if you had a terrible class it was over quickly. I also liked the fast pace. I am not sure it is "easier" to double major. That really depends on the major and the school.[/quote]
