… are you talking about offering 10-week courses during the summer or the whole term being 10 weeks? At UCLA, engineering classes and other science oriented stuff are 10 weeks.

Yes, Dartmouth is certainly a bit different. I like the idea of interning during the regular term, etc. Not too crazy about the rigidity of going having to go to summer term in soph year.

Many students want summers off to be with their friends from other colleges. There’s enough of a difference in quarter and semester schools for mismatch in spring break, and when school begins and ends.

I have other questions, about classes per term, units, cramming year-long classes in two terms instead of three, and you can answer if you wish for those interested in a D education.

One would be: the more advanced calculus is done over four quarters rather than 6?
