Are the co-ops worth it?

As bhmomma said, being an RA is a dope option. It’s pretty competitive because of the free room and board, but if you can snag a spot you’re golden. I’m an RA on co-op now, so I get to bank all my earnings and I happen to have what may be the highest paying co-op in the business school… so after taxes and net my non existent expenses, I will have made over $30k this co-op cycle. Enough to fully fund my IRA, pay next year’s tuition, and have plenty left over to play with. Would not expect this coming in to Northeastern, but know it happens.
