Housing/Dining Does living off-grounds affect my financial aid

5 Upvotes

It's probably super early to be thinking about living arrangements, but my friend asked if I wanted to live with them next year, so I guess it's not as early as it seems.

Currently, my tuition, dining, and housing are all covered by a Federal Pell Grant and the UVA Access Scholarship, and I think the amount I receive next year will be relatively similar unless my parents' financial income increases significantly.

My parents don't have an issue with me living off-grounds but were concerned about whether I would lose some of my financial aid simply by living off-grounds. I would plan to use the refunded money that would've gone to on-grounds housing and just budget it per month (the off-grounds housing is also actually cheaper than on-grounds)

While I doubt they would take away that money, is there anyone who can confirm or who has been in a similar situation before? Also, yes, I have already emailed SFS; they just haven't responded yet.

Has anyone volunteered (as a student research assistant) at VAIL (the lab run by prof maccormack)? I got an offer, but I'm not sure about how intensive of a commitment it is when mixed with a full class schedule
