Backround:
Im going to first year college and asked my friend where is his college and said he still isn’t finished with senior high school as he is in a tri semester. Whats the pros and cons of the tri semester? Does this mean he is going to be 1 year behind?
Also my other friend went to college but different places with me and is also tri semester so does this mean he will also be behind two semester?
Im a freshmen college and enrolled as BSCPE with 2 semester in the whole school year

Trimesters are sort of like long quarters.
Quarters are usually 10 weeks long and you usually take 3 quarters per year or 30 weeks per year.
Semesters are usually 15 weeks long and you usually take 2 semesters per year or 30 weeks per year.
Trimesters are usually 12-13 weeks long and you usually take 3 trimesters per year or 36-39 weeks per year.
I’ve believe trimesters are more common in pre-college level education, and is probably because a lot of parents use school as day care, and this maximizes the time the kids are in school.
Personally, I’ve always been a big fan of Quarters since classes are quicker and more focused.
