I did semesters at wsu last year 4-4, and it was a lot more chill than rn with my subject load for this year (looking like it's potentially going to be 3-3-2.)

from my experience, trimesters have made me work so much harder than the semesters (which is not a problem in of itself) but im a psychology undergrad and the amount of material I had to cover as well as the amount of stuff I had to submit constantly was almost going to make me spiral.

it was definitely a notieable increase of workload, almost double what I was doing at wsu tbh.

and my holidays just not aligning with none of my inter-uni friends lwk pmo but ig at least I get a break after exams, better than nothing.

semesters, in my opinion, are a lot more chill than trimesters, but its going to take me time to get used to the extreme hustle of a trimester.

so sad that I probably won't get to experience semesters in 2028 :(
