<p>If I attend for Fall 2012, I'm interested in possibly living in an off-campus dorm, but I'm afraid it'll affect my financial aid. On-campus living and off-campus living are roughly the same cost, but would UT give me less aid if I was to indicate living off-campus?</p>
<p>You would actually get more. The cost of attendance (which is what they base FA) is higher for off campus. But UT very seldomly meets all need, sometimes they meet nothing beyond federal grants, except for loans.</p>
