Hi All,

I attended interviews at two different type of schools, semester and quarters. I am trying to decide whether quarter system is a good or not? I never went through the quarter system and have always used the standard 16 weeks semester system. How is quarter system different in Pharmacy school? I know it's fast paced since it's 10 weeks but what else is different? I'm thinking semester would be better since I would get little bit more time to absorb materials, review, memorize, and study materials. What do you guys think?
