At least compared to Willamette U.

3 hrs./week for 15 weeks
3*15=45

Typical quarter college like Bellevue College or University of Washington:
5 hrs./week for 10 weeks
5*10=50

The reason we may be in class more is: study sessions, ability to schedule more class periods (if necessary).

I like that we learn so much in a shorter amount of time. It keeps things from getting boring and so there’s no desire to slack off mid-term.

They are making the transition this year.

Also, this one year I’ve had on the quarter system has been really nice. I think I like quarters better than semesters because it makes school go SO much faster.
