Wooster Off-Campus Housing

Hi!

I was accepted at the College of Wooster for 2019 fall. I was offered a good scholarship amount so I was thinking about going there.

I will definitely live on-campus for my freshman year. But, I would like to choose the off-campus option for the next three years due to financial problem. However, I heard that Wooster has a strong policy which encourages students to live on-campus for all years. I am also aware that even if the school allows students to move off-campus, they reduce financial aid.

I just want to know what percentage of students live off-campus and how did they get permission? Is there any convenient housing outside of the campus? Even if I have permission to move off-campus, how much average the school will cut my financial aid?

Thank you.

It’s very rare to live off campus at Wooster. 99% of students live in some sort of campus housing, be that dorms or theme houses. The only students I’ve heard being granted off campus living are the non-traditional types. I’ve heard of a few students w/ a young child, or are finishing up a credit or two, that sort of thing. Even those who are from Wooster, live on campus typically. I can’t speak to the financial aid issue. Your best bet is to call or email the Financial Aid Office as well as the Housing Office to get answers to your questions.
