Have you ever considered there is more to the world that the U.S? And that those countries have different languages and systems of education? FYI I asked a friend who is doing a masters in the U.S. and she said it was a quarter, yet the first respondent to my post said it was a semester so..................stfu

your friend is a [censored] idiot then. if you came from a non english speaking country then it wouldnt be a stupid question.

quarter- 4, tri- 3...

its a stupid reason to make a thread when you could easily google it and get the right answer if you were 100% sure.
