There are a lot of public schools busting at the seams (think ASU with 60,000 students!) I think that could probably benefit from changing to a year round format- something that certainly appeals to all the students that start out at traditional campuses but finish their undergrad work with schools like Univ of Phoenix or Chapman (which I think is called Brandman or something like that now) The one class a month format makes it a lot easier to work, do internships and have time for interests outside of class. And what a waste it is to have university facilities sitting idle when there are students that want to take classes and instructors that want to teach!
A big pro for the Greek system of a year round system would be the continuity of keeping your housing facilities open and generating income all year round. Just because the house is empty over summer break doesn't mean you don't have to keep paying for security, gardeners, property taxes and utilities etc. But just like universities we Greeks are kinda slow to accept change and adapt!
