I am working as a consultant at the moment. And the client has decided that I'll be traveling to their site 50% of the time (in a 2-weeks here, 2-weeks there format).
However, at the moment I'm currently juggling school; and it would be really convenient if I could make the travel arrangement 25% travel to their site.
How much leeway do I have, to express this wish? Is it risky for me to send an email saying something like "It's really Ok with me if I work from home this week. Would you mind?" Or perhaps - "Would you please allow me to work remotely this week?"
Or does that give them a bad impression about me?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions seeking advice on company-specific regulations, agreements, or policies should be directed to your manager or HR department. Questions that address only a specific company or position are of limited use to future visitors. Questions seeking legal advice should be directed to legal professionals.

This is going to be entirely situation specific. Some clients may have issues, some won't. Even within an organisation, it will heavily depend on the requirements of the particular team with which you are working. All you can do is to ask and see.
