<p>I just realized that I put "On Campus" rather than putting "Commute" in FAFSA. Will this drastically change my financial aid, because according to my financial aid letter, it calculates the dorming cost as well. I've just noticed this now and I fear that my financial aid will decrease since I haven't accepted my financial aid yet due to the APs and finals week. (was very busy).</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>you could accept it and dont tell them…
but the case is usually that the school offers more if you are dorming.</p>
<p>Well another scenario is that the COA at NYU is the same for off-campus housing as it is for ON-Campus housing. I would leave it alone.</p>
<p>Well there’s no point in taking out extra loans you don’t need. If that’s what would be happening then change it - don’t fall for the pitfall of using the extra loan money for spending cash. I know someone who did and now that he’s living with the results it’s not pleasant.</p>
