Apply early for housing at Oxy?

<p>Hi. My son has been accepted to Oxy now. I just read on a forum about a different school on this site that there, the sooner you send in your fees, etc, the better housing you get. That hadn't occurred to me. Is it important to decide soon at Oxy? He will visit the other school he must decide between next week; we visited Oxy in August, and probably favors it now.</p>

<p>My automatic response from what I remember from my tour guide is that it is random after everyone has submitted their info, it isn't first come, first serve (but I would look into it more or call the school for verification).</p>
