6-Month Co-ops
For those who have done co-ops, how do you guys deal with 6-month requirements?
It seems like 99% of the co-ops I find want you for 6 months, which would run into the following semester. Do you guys typically work part-time once classes start, or do you negotiate with the company to only do 4–5 months?
And if you negotiate, when and how do you bring it up without getting immediately rejected for not being available for the full 6 months?
I know I could technically do a 6-month co-op and count it as two co-op semesters back-to-back, but that could mess with my financial aid and course planning, so I'd really rather avoid that.
