off campus housing

Postby aliciap311 » Fri Jan 15, 2010 10:52 pm

I currently live on campus as a sophomore, but I am planning on moving off campus next year. I am concerned about if my stafford loans will cover off campus expenses. My parents can not get approved for parent plus loans, so my only aid is FAFSA and stafford loans which I need to be able to pay rent next year. Will I be able to use those loans for housing?

Yes, if you have loan money released to you after your tuition expenses are paid you can use that loan money for any education-related expense including housing.
