FAFSA Housing Plan Question

[EuanF]

Hello all,

While filling the FAFSA for this year, I came upon the "Housing Plan" question, which asks you to denote "on campus/"off campus"/living with a parent as your housing plan for the school year. I've searched up a couple threads here but have been unable to find a definitive answer (and I apologize if I'm missing something very obvious). Since I don't know exactly which of my prospective medical schools' housing offers are officially "on" vs. "off" campus, is there an option I should default to?

In other words, do any of these three options affect the financial aid outcome?

I don't think this matters for med students. Put off-campus as that's the most likely scenario.

Doesn't make a difference, you are allowed to take out loans up to cost of attendance regardless.
