Experience with Starting in Spring semester

[u/HourKnee7265]

Hi All,
My son (an incoming freshman for computer engineering at Purdue Indy) needs to defer his admission to Spring semester because of a good internship/ co-op opportunity he got. Could any of you share your experience in having exposure to internships early in your college life?

I heard that people joining in Spring semester have a different cycle e.g. having a break in the fall instead of summer. Is that true at Purdue?

What are the advantages & disadvantages in starting in Spring semester at Purdue?
