<p>The cost of attendance is much lower for students that are commuting vs students that rent out an apt.</p>
<p>I was wondering if students that are commuting still receive aid that will cover tuition + book and other transportation/personal expenses (assuming their EFC is from 0-2000).</p>
<p>So if tuition is around $9000, will the commuter receive the full cal grant+pell grant+ university grant, assuming their EFC is very low, or will UC's typically cut down the aid so that it matches with the EFC?</p>
<p>In other words, a commuter's total cost of attendance might average to about $15,000/yr, (might be an overestimation), but can and will the commuter's total costs be covered by grants if the EFC is low? (0-2000).</p>
