<p>IV is “enhanced”. It means its more expensive than the normal freshman ones (standard or economy). Most upperclassmen dorms are enhanced as well. </p>
<p>It was by choice, I guess, but I wanted to live in the honors LLC so I didn’t have much choice about it being enhanced or not.</p>
<p>My co-op money (if I paid my rent) would cover everything plus save a tiny bit but only for the time I was on co-op. I’d run out kind of fast (probably within two or three months- which keep in mind includes summer) if I tried to use that money after co-op. It’s pretty widely accepted that you shouldn’t plan on paying off school just with co-ops. It would barely make a dent in tuition, not to mention rent.</p>
<p>My parents do that tuition monthly pay thing (above), have a 10k parent plus loan, and help me with rent. I live off of part-time jobs, scholarship and stafford loans.</p>
