what is the advantages and disadvantages of the quater system?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>advantages:
classes switch often
easy to double-major
distinct calendar phases (fall/winter/spring)</p>
<p>disadvantages:
often things can be hurried
your break schedules aren't the same as your friends at semester schools
sometimes it feels like not enough time is spent on material to actually learn it - as opposed to just flash memorizing it</p>
<p>this thread explains it better:</p>
<p>Caltech does quarters, but not quite sure if they're the type of school you're looking at.</p>
<p>Another boon of the quarter system is the flexibility in which you can find internships or jobs. Since it's much easier to take off a quarter instead of a semester, people often apply for competitive jobs when most of the competition is still at school.</p>
<p>Northeastern University in Boston.</p>
<p>Not "top schools," but... Oregon State University, University of Oregon, Portland State University.</p>
<p>Add University Of Washington on the list.</p>
<p>Rochester Institute of Technology has a quarter program, mostly for its co-op programs I believe.</p>
<p>DePaul University</p>
