ormdad, trimester and quarter are basically the same, except that schools on the quarter system offer summer classes – hence, four quarters of schooling, rather than the three trimesters at Carleton. UChicago, Northwestern and Oregon are other examples of quarter schools.

The compressed academics are a good thing to consider. And ds always would complain that they didn’t get many holidays during the 10-week term. :)

I agree that things might be different for international students, but I assumed your dd wasn’t one so I didn’t address it. Intl students can pay to stay on campus during the long winter break and even spring break. Meals not included.
