Housing options on the FAFSA!?

Question

Hey everyone!

so here's the deal: I filled out the fafsa right, and i put that i would be living with parents(for the colleges also)...but the thing is that I'm not sure about whether I will be living on campus or at home. Does it matter if I put on campus, even if I'm not positive about it. Or can I just leave those questions blank since im undecided?? I honestly don't know whether I'll b living on campus or off. Its soooo confusing, pls help! thanx!

Answer 1

I honestly don't think it matters. I usually just put at home with parents when I fill mine out. I think it's just for informational purposes because with most colleges housing is on a first-come first-served basis.  Go to the FAFSA

Or talk to the FA Administrator at the school you chose to attend. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

You do have to put either housing requested or not.  I would say put yes if you are unsure and that is going to show you your maximum aid.  If you change you need to notify the colleges and they will "repackage" you an offer.  You also don't want to get shut out of housing if you decided you do want it and didn't request it.  This is true of the individual schools applications as well.
