You do not pay tuition while working as a co-op.

Pay as a co-op can range. $15/hr (so about $9000 per semester) is probably a good estimate, but you’ll see salaries range from $10/hr (about $6000 per semester) to $30/hr (about $18000 per semester). But remember you’ll pay US taxes on that, and you’ll have to pay to live where ever your co-op company is located. Also, it’s not guaranteed. You might not find a company to hire you.

You usually co-op for 3 or 4 semesters (under the current system) while in college.
