<p>During my son’s first coop (he’s a middler now, second coop this summer); he paid all of his rent and saved some. During this semester (Spring 2011); he’s in classes and he pays half his rent from coop savings and we pay the other half. Tuition we do via tuition pay (<a href=“http://www.salliemae.com%5B/url%5D”>www.salliemae.com</a>) along with his scholarship (14k/year).</p>
