Your Estimated Cost of Attedance will be lower (via the provided link) and thus your financial need will be lower. I don’t know how this will affect you, if for example they will drop some of the loans or they will cut into the grants (my guess would be the latter - cheap bastards).

On a side note, off-campus and commuter, the only difference is commuter = live w/ parents or relatives, and I’m assuming this means free of charge. With this, I’m assuming that paying them rent means I’m labeled as off-campus.
