1 co-op or no co-op?

<p>So recently I was admitted to Drexel University for biological sciences major with 1 co-op. I read up on the co-ops at Drexel, and found that after my freshmen year I would no longer have summers off, I would either have to do my co-op in the spring/summer or take classes. I am thinking about not doing the co-op because I would like to have my summers off. I am still highly considering going to Drexel though. Also do a lot of people do the co-op as bio majors? Like would I be the only bio major who wasn't doing a co-op or anything during the summers? Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Also I read this on Drexel's website regarding the co-op schedule.
"One Co-op Option (Four Years) – This option includes just one six-month period of full-time employment during the junior year. At the start of the sophomore year, students study or work through all terms, including summers."</p>

<p>You should definitely go for Co-op. You may not like the extra effort right now but once you graduate and are looking for jobs, I think that job experience will help loads.</p>

<p>Furthermore, grad schools also like if you have some job experience. Co-oping at Drexel would mean that you can directly go to grad school. The more Co-op the better but I guess its upto you</p>
