Does anyone know of a good undergrad university that has short (8-10 week) terms with accelerated classes (a normal 4 credit class would ideally be 8 hours per week). Math major, here.

I find that I perform so much better in the summer semesters, when I take at most 2 classes for full time status. Something about concentrating on one or two classes with double the classtime per week really helps me stay on task. I failed all my classes last semester when attempting 4 classes, and got burned out shortly after midterms. Every summer class I attend, I ace.

Am I just being a pussy, or is there actually a school or two out there with learners like myself? This is my 5th year of college and I am only a junior. There are no more summer math classes I can take, and I have been to three different northern state universities. (My problem could be weather-related as well, but no amount of vitamin D or tanning has worked).

Are there any other good options for alternative learning styles? I am wasting so much time and money, but I feel like I really understand the material when I can spend that amount of time in a classroom per week. There are very few tutors for these subjects (abstract algebra, topology, analysis) that I am struggling with. I also get so flustered taking on so many different tasks in one week.
