[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I visited Chicago recently with DD, a HS junior, and we had dinner with my nephew, who's a law student there, and some of his friends.  They all love the law school, but the one student who had also done UofC undergrad warned DD against it.  She said it was a fantastic education, but a miserable existence, largely due to the quarter system.  During our tour the next day, I picked up a copy of the student newspaper, which included an interview with the Dean of the College, who called the quarter system "relentless".  He is heading up a commission to consider switching to a semester system.  [/quote]

One of my daughter’s is at WPI and loves the quarter system. The kids are extremely social and involved in many things.  But U of C  has a longer drawn out, and more intense system. Their timing doesn’t allow decent internships either. And the kids are intense studious kids at U of C. Very similar to JHU and CMU. Great education, but no happiness unless you are happy always being competitive or are just a studious introvert. [/quote]
