<p>Does this housing deposit go towards the cost of our housing or is it an additional fee in addition to the amount we have to pay for housing? Is there any way to avoid paying it or will we have to pay it eventually no matter what? Thanks.</p>
<p>You have to pay it. Even people with an EFC of 0 still had to pay $150 (you can call and ask them to reduce it). It’s not an extra free — just a part of your housing fees.</p>
<p>So those people who are unable to pay the full amount can pay the 150 now but then eventually everyone has to pay the 300 since its part of the cost for our housing?</p>
<p>Yeah. 10char</p>
<p>Arduous, thanks for replying :)</p>
