- If you prove to them that you have very low income it wouldn't matter if you live on or off!
- ON They'll cover dorm (or on-campus housing) costs with financial aid, but they will not cover things like an off-campus apartment.
- Schools will let you receive financial aid to live off campus, you will receive a refund check to pay your rent, bills, ect. Some schools, especially private colleges and universities will offer larger scholarships to students who live on campus. For federal aid, it doesn't make a difference if you live on campus or not, you receive the same amount. It is important that your school knows your choice, because they use this information to create a budget for you.
