I was on the semester system while at college full time and hated it. I found it hard to apply myself to 5 classes for 16 weeks and did horrible. When I started taking classes later on I started attending a school which uses the quarter system and I find that much easier to handle and get better grades. It is also much better for the non traditional student in that I can take 2 classes and be considered full time but that is not too much in the work load. It is also good because I can go to school year round and finish a year earlier.
