<p>Which do you prefer?</p>
<p>I'm on the quarter system and I prefer it. It seems to offer more flexibility and has a larger breadth.</p>
<p>I'm worried that because the school is on the quarter system it won't cover as much as the same class on the semester system would.</p>
<p>It covers just as much...but faster.</p>
<p>[But to compensate for more work per class, you take 4 classes per quarter instead of 5-6 per semester]</p>

I wouldn't worry about it at all.</p>
<p>Do you still get the same amount of instruction hours?</p>
<p>I think more.</p>
<p>I was on quarters when I was in college (Michigan State has since switched to semester) but I liked quarters because you did not have to remember as far back for the final.</p>
<p>I would have hated taking a final in May/June and have to remember stuff from January.</p>
