Requesting to work remotely during my coop
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I accepted a +6 months paid internship offer 600km away from School
I am a student and the timeline between the end of the semester and the beginning of the semester is too short for me to find a replacement for my apartment and a place to live in the new town.
Could I ask to start a bit later?
Secondly, I don't have enough cash to move, knowing that the coop job is mostly about developing apps, how would the company perceive if I ask to work remotely and to work at the visit a few days a week?

@OllieHonor If I were your manager, I would much rather hear everything at once, than have you ask for a later start and then come back and ask to work at home. that would leave me wondering what the next request is going to be.

Sure you can.
I see nothing wrong in exposing your situation to the company (as you did here) and asking for a later start (or for any other solution they can think of).
Keep in mind that you could also start the process of seeking replacement and new place to live now, without having to wait until the time between semesters.
Of course you can't close the deal on a home remotely, but you could narrow down some options that you can then visit and decide, saving you time and perhaps saving you from having to ask for a later start date.

I already started looking for a new place to live now. But I can't go visit any apartment because...my current budget doesn't allow me to go look in person
– OllieHonor

Exactly, you can look for places, make some calls, see photos etc... that way you can narrow down your options, so then you just have to decide when you visit the places, something that is quicker and cheaper than doing both things until you get to the new location.
