[quote=Anonymous]I went to a quarter system school (not UChicago). I really liked it. Yes, certain courses get compacted, but others are stretched out. And, you really do have an opportunity to take a lot of different courses. Four classes/quarter was totally doable. How much time you spend in class (or how much reading/homework you have) will depend on your major. There were a lot of tests the first two years, so I guess you are always studying, but I think that's what students are supposed to do? Engineering did seem like it was tough, but my friends attributed that to the tough grading & learning curve rather than the quarter system. I was a science major & had plenty of time to do my work, do research & have fun. As for the breaks: they felt really natural & no one seemed to have problems finding summer employment/internships.[/quote]
