Housing Fall 2012

<p>I'm transferring to a UC this fall and i'm concerned about housing, especially if I go to UCSD where housing is around 10,000 per year.</p>

<p>my questions are: </p>

<p>I know that the Blue & gold will help with tuition, but will it also help cover my housing costs?</p>

<p>If I go to UCSD and receive a few grants will they give me more money since UCSD is so expensive, rather than if I were to go to UCR? Or is it like a "one size fits all" and there is a set amount that they give you for housing? Is there a chance that my housing costs will be fully covered at UCSD?</p>

<p>My EFC is 0. My parents make only 17-18,000 a year and we have 4 people living in our house, 2 of which are dependents (my brother and I)</p>

<p>Also, are there any things I should be signing up for right now? Scholarships or grants that not a lot of people know about? Or is everything handled through FAFSA and Cal Grant?</p>

<p>What is a map grant?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your responses they are greatly appreciated(:</p>
