<p>I liked quarters for the ability to have more classes (and shorter duration for the ones I didn’t enjoy). But getting out last of all my peers made it more challenging to find summer jobs, since I got home six or seven weeks after the first semester kids came home. Also, September at home can be boring when all your friends and even your younger siblings still in school have already gone back. I always felt as though I was waiting around those last few weeks.</p>
