<p>Does anyone else find the FA info confusing? It doesn’t say total cost, only aid awarded…</p>
<p>Where’s the Columbia group on fb</p>
<p>Everyone on the FB page is extremely helpful and excited!

<p>Thanks! And is it mandatory to live on campus ? I checked the on campus box but I changed my mind since…</p>
<p>@ccuser95: I can’t even get that far. I went into FA through the link on the acceptance letter. I choose either decision or FA. When I go into FA it just shows documents, comments. Do I need to do this a different way to see award?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory to live on campus if you’re a freshman.</p>
<p>Dude NY housing is ridiculous. Unless you have an apartment in NYC there’s literally no reason to live off campus.</p>
<p>still in disbelief that i got in…</p>
<p>@kendamon Did you send your forms in late? If so, it might take awhile.</p>
<p>ccuser95 - yes, thank you, we called and one form was late.</p>
