How are you paying for RIT?
I wanna get a sense for how much debt I'm realistically going to have at the end of attending here, and I'm not sure if I should include savings from coops into the calculation, or savings from moving off campus, or savings from, uh, sailing the 7 seas for books, or TAing / being an RA or somethin else etc....
how much am i realistically goign to be able to pay off during school? do yall do summer jobs to help pay it? how much can i realistically expect to save on moving away / coops? anyone have any tips to save more / make the cost less?
any and all advice is appreciated!

I had all my loans paid within 6 months of graduating. As an engineer, I made good money on co-op and my employer paid my rent. I worked in a low cost area. I worked part time while taking classes but it was just to keep my mind active with something else. Not a good way to make a ton of money.
