C vs Co

[Stefani, Sara Marie]

"Co" is used before words that begin with a consonant cluster that begins with "c" - so "со Стивом" or "со студенткой," but "c сестрой," "с Сергеем." But not in front of many other consonant clusters like "с профессором," "с Владом," "с братом." However, you do also say "со всеми," and "со мной," "со многими людьми."   

Hope that helps.

Best,
sms

I thought it was just a matter of whether the target word starts with a "C"
- it if does, the extra vowel creates a liason which is easier to say.
