What should I enter for housing plans for the schools I listed & applied to? I am not sure what I'm going to do about that, but for now they're all listed as living off campus...I was wondering if that will affect the amount of aid they'll offer or not??

It will affect the amount of money you are offered. If you live off campus you should recieve more money. Do Not live in the dorms if you are concerned about costs, it costs way more to live in the dorms than to have your own apartment, pay for bills, and pay for food. You will definately get less money if you say you are living at home with your parents.
Also, remember you can go back and make changes to your fafsa anytime so don't stress it.

Answer based on what your housing status will be. If you will attend school close to your parent's house and you will live there list with parents, this generally gives you the lowest amount of total aid (not specific to awards and will not effect the amount you get to cover tuition) because you won't have rent to pay. If you are going to live in the dorms list on campus because you want them to include the cost of the dorms in your award package and if you are going to live in an appartment off campus list that so they can calculate an estimate of your rent.
