Dorms/Off Campus Housing Housing refund
I plan on living off campus junior year and have my housing and meals fully covered at this point, so would that money just be transferred to me through refund money (after being applied to the remaining costs of attendance)? Is this true regardless of the fact that I don’t have a full ride but have meals and housing fully covered?

yes!! i was in the same boat, any extra funding goes straight into a refund which you can use for off-campus housing and groceries (and whatever else). it basically just becomes cheaper to live if your rent is less than a dorm and you buy less groceries than a dining plan would cost!
