What are my Medical School Housing Options?

I know that medical school housing is available either on-campus or off-campus or both, depending on the school. So, is there a section of your tuition that goes to room & board, since you aren't allowed to work in Medical School. Also, can the money alotted for room & board under tuition be used for housing other than on-campus. For example, if there is on-campus housing available, but you choose to live off-campus, will you get your room and board money taken out of the tuition and given back to spend on housing?

Now, when you look at the "quote" for the cost of medical school, there will be a separate box for cost of living and housing. It is NOT included in your tuition. You choose where you live, and tution does not change at all. I'd recommend buying a house or condo, because you'll be living there for 4-8 years. Also, nows a good time to buy during the housing slump, and you'll beable to sell for higher in 4 years.
