Tuition is deducted, and any overage is sent to the student to be used for discretionary expenses.

The check they give you at the start of the quarter is what's left over. It is to be used for books and supplies not food or housing expenses. Sure, you can take money from that check and use it for food if you have enough left over after buying your books, but the money is not given to a student for personal expenses. Financial aid is not for personal expenses, its not a personal loan. I'm not the one who is mistaken you are.
