What about the rigor at this school???

I think students split pretty evenly between three and four courses. I like the idea of taking four when possible in order to take advantage of the school, but sometimes times and classes just don’t work out well, or a schedule with three time consuming classes is enough. Some take three, and some take four. People don’t look down on students taking three classes (exception would be someone taking the three easiest classes they can find). Almost everyone has a mix of quarters with three and quarters with four. Three classes is also more desirable if you’re playing a varsity sport that season, prepping for the LSATs/MCATs/etc., or applying for jobs or grad/professional schools.
