<p>I love the quarter system, so I hope they never get rid of that. With the core, we never have homework or studying to do during a break. Also, if you hate a class, it’ll be over as soon as it started. If you really like a class, you can continue to take that professor the next quarter.
It would be nicer if they could shift the entire calender a little bit, so that we start school and end school the same time as everyone else. Our breaks will probably never match up though.
Perhaps if they lessened core requirements a little. Instead of 15, maybe have 10, or even 8, mandatory classes, and give people the option of continuing whatever class sequence they’re in. The core is probably my least favorite part of the curriculum here. Maybe Chicago could increase yield by lessening the core requirements. That might improve its reputation amongst laymen.</p>
