Will my financial aid adjust with different housing options?

So I got my financial aid numbers already, but since there are any number of different housing options available that are separated in $3-$4k in price..and since I really don't have all that much say in what I get since there's a very limited amount of it around, will the amount of aid I get be adjusted with it? I have a feeling it won't but I'm not completely sure about it.

My financial aid is however much I need (up to a certain, high ammount). You basically say.... ok, tution is this much, plus books, plus housing..... and you come up with a total number, then you request a loan for that much. I usually add a few $100 to make sure I have enough.

Man.... I can't wait till I have to pay all this back! :D

No, it shouldn't. The package they give you is the package you get.

nope, if you live off campus, they pay your tuition then cut you whatever is left over.
