I went to an undergrad university with the semester system. I really liked it and I don't think I would enjoy the quarter system. Our schedules/courses often landed on a M-W and T-TH timetable. I really liked that as it gave me plenty of time to complete assignments for a particular class. If I had to attend the same lecture everyday, I might have felt more pressure. Plus, depending on how the schedule panned out, I had entire free days for work, errands, homework, and fun.
Only occassionally did I have a M-W-F class. Those were usually the lower division general ed courses that they needed to pack into the schedule somehow. I only had a few of them.
At grad school in England, it was set-up more on a "semester-style", but our terms were only EIGHT weeks long. I don't feel I learned as much as I could have had we been able to have more time with the instructors.
