Something to consider when choosing a quarter system school.[/quote]

Yeah, it's definitely miserable.[b] I admit we didn't spend a lot time thinking about this.[/b] DC was excited for the idea of getting to take extra/shorter classes.[/quote]

yep. My child is starting at Dartmouth and frankly they/we never gave the late start/late end a second thought but now is realizing that they wouldn't have picked the school for this reason. Too late now but it stinks. [/quote]

Does Dartmouth still have the required summer at Dartmouth (I think after sophomore year)? That also seemed like a bad idea.[/quote]

yep. They get a fall or spring 10 week quarter off one year and have to go to school for 10 weeks between sophomore and junior years. [/quote]

Wait, at Dartmouth they can’t take the winter trimester off sophomore year? My cousin who is from the south loved not having to go that winter. And Dartmouth is so nice in the summer. She actually wound up doing two summers at Dartmouth and two winters at home.[/quote]
