Really naive question regarding tuition payment schedule

First one’s school had a managed monthly program; the company and school did not sync their invoices so we could never figure out what was due when. After the first year we paid each semester.
Second kid’s school took Visa so we took advantage of building frequent flyer miles every semester.
The last one has a school managed monthly plan ($50/semester), 4 payments per semester, which we have used 2 or 3 times in her 5 semesters thus far.

The most significant impact on the cash flow has been when the kids moved off campus. We were able to give them a monthly allowance for rent and food out of our salary income.
