Many students wonder how moving to off-campus housing will affect their financial aid. The good news is that your move won’t affect the amount of your aid; your budget for housing will remain the same as if you were living in a double room in a dorm.

However, when you move off campus, it will be up to you to pay your rent. Instead of having your housing costs deducted automatically from your student account, you will need to pay your rent from your refund. You will have four months’ rent to pay for the semester so you will need to plan accordingly.
