When considering FFP's and reward redemption, should I be thinking that by the time I redeem my miles I will have the option of using *A carriers?
Why are you even contemplating a switch to CO? Do you parents live near a CO hub?

To answer some of your questions, CO should be in *A long before you graduate, so *A carriers will be available for awards to Europe at that time (unless, CO decides to switch alliance again).
