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

It’s just a different way of doing things. You’re still usually doing 4 classes at once for about the same amount of time per year. With the trimester, you get more variety of classes, but aren’t able to cover quite as much in each class.
For example, say your first year you’re taking Math, physics, humanities, and gen-ed classes for your 4 classes. In the Math, Phys, and Humanities will cover roughly the same amount of material between the two systems. But for the gen ed classes, the trimester system will have three separate gen eds with less depth, and the semester system will only have two, but cover each in more depth.
It’s a different way of doing things. They have minor benefits and drawbacks, but are roughly equivalent as far as quality of education goes
