<p>i dont quiet fully understand how financial aid works</p>

<p>with all the financial aid deductions my total cost would be around 10k</p>

<p>now im a spring admit so im not guaranteed dorming</p>

<p>but i will be in the FPF and they said that financial aid covers for fall as well</p>

<p>if i did get a dorm i would only have to pay my 10k, but if i dont get dorm and get an apartment instead, how would this work?</p>

<p>would they deduct room and board expenses from my total cost? and if without room and board expenses the total comes out to be a negative, then would they pay me to pay for my rents?</p>

<p>oh and when i get loans do they come into my bank account or pays off the school? </p>

<p>please help anyone</p>

<p>I'm not sure how the loans wor because my dad told me i'm not allowed to take them. :/</p>

<p>but as far as dorming and stuff works, my brother told me they recalculate your financial aid depending uponwhere you stay, outside awards, etc. They most def wouldn't pay you to pay your rents off campus though....they'd probably just expect you to pay the whole thing on your own then.</p>
