I loved the quarter system, and had it at both undergrad and graduate levels.
I found that the school year went by a lot quicker, and you only had to put up with those classes you hated for 3 months.
Advantages:
shorter terms
more "credits" over the year--up to 60 credit hours with approval at my schools with 15 credits being "average" load and 20 being an "overload" for undergrad.
more breaks than the semester--we always finished up before a major "break"
Disadvantages:
carrying hours over to a semester school--some friends of mine had to really push to keep some of their credits when they transferred
extra tuition cost and housing because we had to pay per quarter on the housing/meals/fees etc
Personally, the quarter system worked best for me.
