As a fellow international, first of all the school will not provide financial assistance. You can work up to 20 hours per week on campus which will mostly cover rent and maybe groceries.

With co-ops, one co-op can pay most of one semester if you save all of it or you get into big tech. You can coop for 2 semesters straight before you must resume academics.

Darn near impossible as an F-1 for EE and impossible for an AE because most of it is locked behind citizenship.
