Not all students find co-ops right away as well. Drexel absolutely still gives full scholarships. As far as I know, they do not cover room and board.
I live within a half hour of Drexel much faster without traffic , and I know many of the kids who win the full scholarships will live on campus for a year but then end up commuting from home for all or part of their remaining years, particularly if their co-op is somewhere in the suburbs, e.
King of Prussia, Collegeville, etc. Still worth applying though if they do give full tuition. At that time - about 7 months ago - it was free to apply online. All Rights Reserved.

Most FA recipients have loans in their packages. If you get an internship or a summer job while attending Penn, your EFC will increase and your aid will be reduced accordingly.
However, Federal law prevents Drexel from including your Co-op income when calculating your aid. Therefore, there is an additional 18k a year a Drexel student can earn without causing EFC to increase. But that of course is if you are an engineering student. Business and other majors earn significantly less. Co-op for art, film, English majors are unpaid so these majors usually choose 4-year with 1 co-op instead of the 5-year with 3 co-op program.
Drexel is a good place for kids to learn to become financially responsible adults. People will come out of Drexel more mature than most college graduates.

Since I believe the next debt bubble will be caused by student loans, the most financially mature thing to do is attend where you can afford it. Of course as I noticed, employers like to hire these students in the Philadelphia area just because of the perception of prestige they can boast about to their clients.
This may cause people to take out a lot of loans to attend that must include private student loans. On the topic of private student loans, I know a district justice order them to pay back all the commissions they made from one provider for encouraging students to take out private loans with them.
Actually, the cost of tuition would still be the same. An x amount of tuition in dollars is divided into 4 years, if that is what you choose. However, if you choose a 5 year with co-op, then that x amount of tuition is divided into the 5 years.
The 5 years is a better investment, since you would have accumulated 2 co-ops worth of money more than a 4 year program at Drexel.
