USC Incorrect Housing Option

[_MIT]

<p>So, I accidentally put my housing preferences as “at home”, while I actually intend to live on campus. I called in and spoke to a USC employee who told me that if I was to change my housing options, only my grants would be increased and my loans would remain the same. Therefore, I would expect the pay the same regardless of my housing decision as long as I submitted an appeal. How often are housing appeals rejected? so is it true that my loans would remain the same (I’m skeptical about having to pay more money than I intended) ?</p>

<p>Background Information:
After scholarships (both merit and need-based), I am expected to pay around $3000 a year.</p>

<p>+MIT, you state in the above post that you are expected to pay about $3,000/year, yet in this thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/910432-usc-odd-financial-aid-package.html#post1064645019[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/910432-usc-odd-financial-aid-package.html#post1064645019&lt;/a&gt; you say that your USC financial aid package was “by far the worst package” you received. </p>

<p>If your package has been updated, please go back to that thread and correct the erroneous information you posted there.</p>

<p>Once you have made that correction, I will be happy to address your current question.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
