<p>I've been considering Carleton but I never truly gave it serious thought until I actually got my acceptance. I'm just curious to hear from current students, alums, or whoever may have some thoughts about quarters. I come from a school that runs on semesters so I'm afraid my transition into quarters may not be a pretty one. The quarter system is the only thing that is turning me off about Carleton. Does it take a lot of adjustment?</p>
<p>they’re actually trimesters.
