<p>On my commonapp and Fafsa app I put "off-campus" for a school. However, I changed my mind and now I want to dorm next year. (If I am lucky enough to get in.) Can I request to do so? Do I have to pay by myself? (I mean...will I get financial aid for dorming?)</p>
<p>Why don’t you just email the admission’s office of that school and ask them to make the change to On-Campus? This is a simple solution.</p>
<p>Whether putting on or off campus makes a difference to your financial aid depends on the school. Some schools have a different COA for on campus and off campus. Some do not (my daughter’s school does not, my so’s school does). Some schools have 3 COAs - on campus, off campus not with parents, off campus with parents. If your school has a lower COA for off campus then it will reduce your financial aid (if you are eligible for aid to start with).</p>
<p>Do we confirm whether we want to dorm or not after we get accepted?</p>
<p>If I were you, I would contact the school ASAP and have them make the correction to your application regarding your wish to dorm on-campus.</p>
<p>same here. Do we have to let the schools know again whether we want to dorm or not after the acceptance? (like in May?)</p>
