I can't figure out why Co-ops (particularly education institute backed) haven't really taken off in the US.<p>For example my alma mater Georgia Tech used to offer a Co-op program but I believe they discontinued it.<p>Northeastern here in Boston from what I have heard from others had serious problems with adoption of the Co-op program (I have to find the citation where I also read this).<p>Of course this was a few years back so maybe Co-ops are in now?
> we reinvest our own profit into new projects that we believe are going to bring about real social change.<p>So what? Why is there an implicit assumption that if someone is trying to bring about "change", that it must be good?
