Especially if I take on the 2nd student, I am sure they will need to be there up to 5 days a week to make up for missed time.

My first year placement had two interns, and while I adored my fellow intern, there was NOT enough for us to do. While I had some very positive experiences, I would have loved more to do, even if it was research / policy / etc. (I know different programs have it set up differently - I was in the clinical concentration). My second year I interned at a very busy children's community outpatient mental health clinic and had two other interns. We were so busy, but having them there meant even more to me than having a fellow intern the first year. There was more to process and it turned into a lovely, supportive friendship. I don't know if this helps or not, but your heart to balance your own needs with the needs of the students will equal a positive experience for all in the end. Good luck!
