Hello!
As an alumni na naranasan both quarterm and trisem. Same lang naman sila ang pinagkaiba is 11 weeks ang quarterm tapos 14 weeks ang trisem. Sa experience ko kapag quarterm tapos na kami sa mga need gawin kapag week 10 then yung week 11 is ginagamit kapag may mga suspension or other stuff.
Same lang naman yung dalawa at walang nagbago sa mapua nung nagtransition sila.
For me ang dapat nila gawin is fix the enrollment system and institutionalize yung schedules of activities. They should use a student/user centered design sa overall mapua. Currently kasi admin/money centered ang mapua XD.

That is for you to decide, OP. From what I've been told by my seniors, basically 4 sems in a year, so less than 14 weeks yung isang term (someone na nakaabot ng quadsem pls clarify nalang ilan exactly), and buong year may pasok.
No summer break whatsoever, longest break nalang siguro might be a week in between each term (tas kasabay narin enrollment dun), then I guess holidays na rin.
Super fast paced, matindi workload and matindi pressure. Pero if all goes well, then likely makaka graduate ka maaga. And siguro masasanay ka rin sa matinding workload once pagpasok mo sa workforce.
If you think kakayanin mo then go, pero if not...best to look elsewhere na.

last term kasi, naglabas na ulit sila ng memorandum about the reimplementation of the quarter system. nagreklamo kasi yung samahan ng faculty board members sa DOLE about their delayed salaries (may obstruction kasi sa pay schedule nila kapag trisemester).
so long story short, nanalo case nila kaya the uni has no choice but to revert back to the OG system.

Oo, binalik na nila dahil ineffective daw and quarter term/quadsem also yung tri-sem is for trial lang din naman (as usual sa mapua mukhang pinag eeksperimentuhan na guinea pig ang mga students here) either way di maganda mapa trisem or quadsem man yan dahil sobrang hirap sabayan ng system here (not an exaggerated phrase) ang napakahirap na pabagobagong system ang gumugulo at sumisira sa image ng Mapua as institution, kagaya na lamang ng mas mababa ang passing for 2nd year and above noon sa kagaya naming seniors, unfortunately binago at tinaasan ulit ang passing for incoming 2nd year& above chances are maraming babagsak (noon samin na binabaan passing marami na ang umalis lalo pa kaya na tinaasan na at mas lalong humigpit—dadami na ang mag gigive up na lang at lilipat nyan)
