<p>How long is a semester? I never that in my high school I had 4 quarters.
Is it long enough for a professor to write a recommendation for you?</p>
<p>Semesters are 15 weeks + a week for finals.</p>
<p>Most of your upper level classes and some lower level ones are small enough that you would get 1 on 1 time with your profs. You can also take some initiative and go see a prof at their office hours regularly.</p>
<p>I will go to monto alto… do they have small classes?
Major- sociology or anthropology
Will there be a need for me to go the summer session?</p>
<p>Yep, branch campuses typically have smaller class sizes. although, you will most likley have to finish either degree at UP where the class sizes may be a bit of a shock for you.</p>
<p>You don’t need to go to a summer session if you don’t want to. </p>
<p>Personally, I am attending a summer session this summer at a nearby branch. Im taking the classes that everyone has to take and would rather spend my time at UP taking more interesting classes.</p>
<p>Do I need to take the summer session for the professor to know me better for recommendation?</p>
<p>no…</p>
