- There are issues of time and place when involving students from multiple professional schools

- There are different calendars, schedules, and philosophies of education

- Differences in fundamental curriculum structure inhibited learning together.

- so it was more difficult, philosophically and logistically, to merge disciplines, programmes, and colleges into one curriculum than was anticipated

- students might have some learning needs in common, but their chronological age, educational years, and maturation are so far apart that it may be difficult for them to learn together. So paying attention to the level of student development can enhance the outcomes of the learning experience (CPHPE Cluster Evalution Team,1997)
