<p>You have a lot of factors. The one that kills it for me is you are out of state and far away. You and your family will have lots of travel expenses. Is NU worth it. Yes…based on your situation… If you were closer to Boston I think the coop advantage is worth it. Plus it like others have said it will offset some of the costs. </p>
<p>Nothing says you can’t find a coop on your own during the summer. Get your Fasfa in early and hope for the best!</p>
<p>Full ride to a good school is an easy answer…take it! A friend is still paying school loans at age 43. She has a good job (100k) now but cant get ahead…had $100,000 in loans.</p>
