Trimester

<p>What's the trimester calendar like? Do you like it or not?</p>

<p>i think it's called that because there are summer courses offered but people move in late august and finals are around the week of april 20th...not 100 percent sure though</p>

<p>Knox College uses the trimester system. I'm not a student, just a visiting parent. They're ten weeks long, and students said the classes really move fast, but you only take three each term. They get out in mid-November and don't return until January, which means kids can go home and get a job if they want, work through Christmas (or travel, etc.). It sounded good to me.</p>

<p>our trimester is a semester system for most, but we have a spring/summer period where someone could really take a full course load</p>

<p>gotcha, thanks.</p>
