Financial aid ON vs. OFF-campus housing

<p>I'm getting a good amount of need-based aid from UCI. I've listed that I'm going to live in campus housing, but if I decide to live off campus (and share an apartment because it's cheaper than living in VDCN alone, which is what I've been offered,) how will that affect my financial aid? Will it drop significantly?</p>

<p>Nevermind, I just called the fin. aid office and she said my aid would only decrease by about $500.</p>
