<p>Mstee, it’s the ACM Study Abroad programs that cause the conflict. These are on a semester basis, following 95% of U.S. schools I guess, and therefore participating in one is longer than a Chicago quarter, you have to pay tuition for 2 quarters, but you earn credit for 3 classes, and also have a couple of extra weeks to spare at the end. Go visit the family I guess.</p>
