Can I claim my son as a dependent if he spent 8 months of 2018 in a co-op, and the co-op was recognized by the college which meant he was considered a full time student?

Son was enrolled in college and did a co-op for spring 2018 and summer 2018 in a different state.  He paid for his apartment and meals while on co-op for 8 months.  I paid his car all year.  I paid for the other four months of the year.  I also paid for his other apartment for the time he was in a co-op as he signed a year lease at school.  Working the co-op meant he was still registered as a full time student so does that cover the question of residency as a Qualifying Child to be considered a dependent?  Also  If I add up all the costs of his 12 months I just out spent him, so does that cover the Support question of Qualifying Child?
