<p>this is more of a question for people that have experience and that are already in the UC system.</p>
<p>do UCs check if you are infact living off campus? how do they do that? have you ever been ask to verify? if so, what method did you use?</p>
<p>i, personally, am not doing this because i don’t even qualify for aid but i was wondering because a friend told me that he is going to claim that he are living off-campus but really stay home to get money to funnel back and reject the loans they make you take. his plan sounds viable. claiming to live with parents gives = 16k. claiming to live off-campus gives = 22k.</p>
<p>that would be an 8k surplus he’ll be offered.</p>
<p>how would colleges find out that he’s lying?</p>
