Ok...I didn't bother reading through these posts, but I am transferring from a school that was on the quarter system to a school that is on the semester system. There were some advantages of the quarter system, but overall I prefer the semester system. It is nice having less classes each quarter - only 4 as opposed to 5 or 6, but at the same time, you have less time on the material you are reading in you classes. From start to finish your classes move at a hectic pace, and in a lot of my classes I felt like we didn't have the time to really get into the material. The breaks were nice and starting school later was nice, but it sucked getting out in the middle of June and being home over winter break while everyone else is still at school. Also, if you decide you do not like your quarter-system school and want to transfer, like I did, you are screwed on hours - you end up losing a bunch in the whole transfer process.
