Please be careful about the co-ops. If you use more than 364 days of full-time CPT for co-ops, you will lose all of your post-graduation OPT. Drexel recommends that international students on a 3 co-op plan complete one of their co-ops outside of the US, or do an unpaid part-time internship for one of their co-ops in the US, to avoid losing their OPT. http://drexel.edu/scdc/co-op/policies/international-students/
Once you get your student visa, take note of the expiration date on the sticker in your passport. Personally, I’d be very careful about going abroad after that expiration date because you’d have to apply for a new student visa in order to return to the US. I hear that student visa applications for Indians have a way of getting denied for suspected immigration intent. You may prefer to avoid taking that risk a second time.
I honestly don’t know how international graduates of Drexel fare in the job market. Drexel students or alumni would be in a better position to share anecdotes.
I have noticed that several of my Indian co-workers at my current job decided to take a job in Canada and leave the US entirely. It appears that people may be losing their patience with the US immigration system.
