How does the trimester system work in college?
This school I know goes by trimesters. Basically 18 week classes combined but broken up by 3 groups (6 weeks each).
Each 6 weeks you take one class. When that 6 weeks is up, you pick another class.
Does this mean that I can take a 6 week class and when it’s over I can take a break for 6 weeks even if it means me finishing my degree slower?
