1. I worked at a financial aid office. Your financial aid can go to cover where ever you live. It can be dorms, on campus, or off.
2. The formula used to determine amount of aid includes cost of living on or off campus.
3. totally, depending on how much you got left on your grants
4. Yes. The maximum amount of Financial Aid that you can receive is based on your "Cost of Attendance," which is determined by the Financial Aid Office . Schools are allowed to include the following items in your COA: * tuition & fees * room & board (whether it be on- or off-campus) * a "reasonable amount" for books, supplies (in some cases, a computer), transportation, miscellaneous expenses * dependent care * study abroad expenses * loan fees * employment expenses for co-op study Pretty much, you can get financial aid up to the amount of your COA.
