I’ve been searching through CC to find some answers! A post by Jordain had the same question I had and I think answers my question. The post is: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/903520-my-aid-drop-if-i-decide-commute-but-how-much-uci.html if you guys are interested in what was said in the discussion.
She was able to get an answer from someone at UCI and this is what Jordain said, “I spoke with an advisor today and he said they will drop my UCI grant and lower my student loans. Apparently Pell grants and Cal grants aren’t affected by housing.”

Thanks jbourne and mom2collegekids! I do appreciate your guys’ input as I have really no one to turn to about these questions.
