$CO$OP$

What is your favorite thing about co-op? (Not just SHM, but co-op in general). Nobody is allowed to say "no homework!" because that's my answer. Be specific!

Drexel’s co-op program is definitely the aspect that separates them from the other private schools and state schools in Pennsylvania. The idea of having a paid internship is a perfect concept, for you are able to learn a significant amount about your area of study, while still being able to support yourself as well. You can almost think of co-op as a combination of going to school full-time and working a part-time job. It consumes a significant amount of your time, requires dedication and hard work, you’re expected to complete all your tasks and projects accordingly and on-time, and concludes with a paycheck at the end of the week. Co-op, aside from its athletics and academic reputation was the primary reason I selected Drexel as my school of choice. Having 3 internships throughout college is a ridiculous edge you have over students from other schools. While those students résumés have employment experiences like waiters/waitresses, cashiers, and sales associates, mine will contain one and a half years of hands-on marketing experience for corporate companies.


...and no homework
