<p>I was here a few weeks ago about deciding whether to live on campus or commute. Since many said to live on campus, I changed my financial aid to include living in UCI dorms so I wanted to know how much living expenses would be now (they haven't changed it yet)
Living at home with parents they said it would be $7,900 (I'm not sure how they came up with this maybe gas?)
Also would my gift aid change?</p>
<p>This is the current cost break down off of the UCI website. It lists on and off campus living. [Costs:</a> Freshmen Undergraduate Students](<a href=“Cost | Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships | UCI”>Cost | Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships | UCI)</p>
<p>Just wondering is my gift aid going to change?</p>
<p>They may give you more aid since dorm life is pretty expensive compared to commuting to campus.</p>
<p>Oh thanks for responding! 
they haven’t updated my financial aid but uci is my first choice can I SIR now or should I wait to see the new aid?</p>
