<p>Here’s a sample 5 year schedule:</p>
<p>Freshman year:
Class September-May. Vacation May-September.
Sophomore year:
Class September-December. Co-op January-July.
Middler Year:
Class July-December (1 Summer session for 2 months, full fall semester). Co-op January-July.
Junior Year:
Class July-December. Co-op January-July. Vacation July & August
Senior Year:
Class September-May.</p>
<p>Basically, you switch between 6 months of classes (2 of these will be a summer session, 4 will be a semester) and 6 months of work. Some people only do 2 co-ops, allowing them to have more vacation time.</p>
