Is the quarter system at UCD really that bad?

The vast majority of students at UC Davis take 4 classes per quarter.

And the quarter system isn’t that bad. The only thing to keep in mind is that you need to hit the ground running. You’ll have midterms the third week of class. Pre-labs will be due the first week of lab. It’s possible to feel extremely far behind as early as week 2. If you’re not on top of your academics the day classes start (oftentimes before classes start) you’ll have a miserable quarter. Just don’t procrastinate, wherever you decide to go.

By the way, it seems like you have a lot of grievances about UC Davis. Please, choose where you want to go and don’t let others make the decision for you.
