Kinda unfair in my opinion

Ask them why some people with housing refund(~$3000) still got the CARES act money too lol. Kinda funny

I think it depended also on the other financial aid they got and when they received their deposit.

I have an EFC of 0 and I still didn’t get a CARES refund because I got a housing refund. So it seems unfair that others did get both a housing and cares refund

I think it's that if you get a housing refund, it means that in part, you met a certain income threshold because you or your parents were well off enough to actually pay a decent amount for housing. Some people pay very little if anything for housing, so they wouldn't get much of a refund back, making them eligible for the grant.
But some people pay for housing through financial aid and loans, especially low-income students. So that shouldn’t disqualify them the help from the CARES award
Yeah I'm not sure why my opinion is so unpopular apparently. It's not as though getting a housing refund is equivalent to the CARES Act. What if I or another student needs to pay rent where they live outside of campus still? People aren't making sense to me
