Does anyone know if you get more OSAP if you live off-campus as opposed to at home?

I thought last year you had to enter how much your rent was, but I don't recall seeing that this year. But you should theoretically get more money depending on where your permanent home is.

Yeah, that was on the application last year but not this year. Which is very frustrating because my summer rent is $850 a month! I would have liked to include that..

I think you do get more OSAP if you live outside of your parents house. If you live at home, OSAP assumes you don't pay rent. But DON'T LIE about this. If OSAP finds out, you will get in big trouble!

That's what I thought. That's very expensive rent . Never lie on your OSAP application, there are many consequences.
