Are the co-ops worth it?

I love Northeastern and all of the opportunities it provides to the students. I definitely am convinced the co-ops are worth it when it comes to the experience and the time put into them but are they worth it financially?

I know a lot of co-ops are paid, but are they paid well enough? Assuming I do a co-op somewhere away from my parents house, I’ll have to pay for some type of room and board which can add up if you do two or three co-ops on top of paying for the semesters when you are on campus.

So I guess what I’m asking, for any current students, do you find the doing co-ops on top of going to school makes it more expensive or do you find you can pay for living accommodations with the money you make on co-ops so there wouldn’t be much extra cost on top of being a student at Northeastern. Hopefully this makes sense! Thanks!
