why co-op rocks!

The co-op experience is a great part of Drexel. While it may take 5 years to graduate, as opposed to 4, you still get a year and a half of real world experience. This real world experience is as real as it gets, from the interviews to the actual job. And through the co-op experience, we are treated as a part of the full time staff instead of just being the lowly intern.

The best part of co-op is knowing what its like to be employed and how to get employed before we are thrown into society. this allows us to get a hold of the world before we sucked into the chaos of the downside of society. We have a jump start on how to function outside of family and college life, on how to live by ourselves.

Another gleaming aspect of the co-op program is that we get a foothold in our prospective careers. We get to make an impact in our career before we're out of college. We also get to experience our career first hand and find out if we choose the right career path for ourselves.
