[quote=Anonymous]Any of the schools on a trimester system are going to be much more challenging than a university on a traditional semester system. Instead of a 15 week-ish semester, those schools cram a full semester of work into three 10-week terms. The pace is intense, and the students need to be very naturally organized and focused, especially in more demanding classes such as calculus or chemistry for example, because the classes are covering the same material in 33% less time. If your kid is not organized, gets overwhelmed, or gets run down/sick easily, I would avoid the trimester universities, such as Stanford, U Chicago, Northwestern, etc.[/quote]
