Want to add some footnotes, comments, or whatever you want to call them.

1. I wrote this about the program in general, not about co-op terms or internships.

2. I used "curse" in the title because well, it fits in a writing sense (contrasts). Downsides, cons, whatever it is all the same.

3. I understand that real life is working 8 hour days, but at the same time it isn't surrounded by constantly moving and school.

4. Co-op is amazing. As I said I wouldn't trade it for anything, but you have no stability in life. When working full time you aren't moving your life every 4 months. Moving is hard enough as is.

Take my words as you want. This is my experience and how I've felt 4 years in and nothing more. Nothing in life comes without its warts and downsides (or curses if you may).
