I submitted my fafsa application and chose the on campus option but I just recently saw some places off campus that are significantly less expensive compared to on campus dooming options. What would I need to do other than submit a fafsa correction with the correct housing option enabled?
Did you get a need based aid financial aid package? If so, it was based on you living on campus cost of attendance. It’s very likely that the off campus option has a different cost of attendance.
Are you positive you want to live off campus? Remember, it’s a 12 month lease, with utilities, internet, etc. And if not furnished, you will need furniture too. Do you have to pay for your own heat? In winter that can get costly. Look at the total cost to live off campus…not just the rent over month.
In addition, if you rent, you might need a deposit plus first and last months rent.
