I never said it was impressive, nor did I imply same. I just posted the D-Plan is unique. Yes, students at other colleges might be able to create a similar plan for themselves, but as you clearly agree it is not mandatory. By its vary nature of being mandatory, the D-Plan is unique.

And since no other quarter college requires ~100% of the Sophomores to stay on campus in the summer…wouldn’t you agree that is a “unique” feature? And since it is a key aspect of the D-Plan…

And no, other quarter colleges do not cram Frosh Chem (as an example) into two quarters – they teach it over three quarters. Again, a unique feature.

Whether the D-Plan is good or “impressive” is not relevant to the definition of ‘unique.’



There hasn’t been another college on the quarter system that I am aware of that doesn’t offer a full 10 week summer quarter…



Ahem, Stanford does not - max is 8. Chicago does not - max is 9. (That’s just the first two I checked.)
