A Place to Lay My Head (and the money that'll get me there)

When planning for my housing for next year there are several issues and considerations I have to make.

1) I'd like a better place to sleep.

I love living here in Sundy, it's been a true privilege to live in my own room so closely associated with great people like my suite mates (Kevin, Bryce, and Dalton); however, I think that it would be nice to live outside of the dorms. It can get noisy and busy around here at odd hours of the night which means that I have issues sleeping (and maintaining a regular sleep schedule).

2) Money

The biggest concern for me is the money involved in housing. For a while I was thinking of living in town (and outside of Drury housing); however, I am not sure that I actually can do that. Apparently, a person must be at least 21 or have a FAFSA report that indicates they are allowed to do so. I don't think that my FAFSA would allow me to live off campus.

My Options

My first choice in housing to hopefully to stay off campus with a group of guys that I met here at Drury. If that doesn't pan out I"ll hopefully end up in University sweets with my current suite mate (Kevin) and a couple of guys to be predetermined. And if that doesn't pan out, I'll probably attempt to stay here in Sundy.

Financial Aid

Though I have money issues, I wouldn't be here at all  if it weren't for my Trustee Scholarship I received from Drury. The scholarship actually allowed me to come to Drury, otherwise I couldn't have came up with the student loans to be here.
