<p>Hi everyone and congratulations to those who have been accepted. Now for the next steps...can someone help me with these questions:</p>
<p>Is every freshman guaranteed housing and does submitting your deposit early give you housing preference (specifically for those not in any special interest housing such as honors or scholars).</p>
<p>Is the $200 deposit refundable if you decide to withdraw your acceptance by May 1st?</p>
<p>Any words of wisdom out there is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>I'm not 100% sure- but I think all freshman are guaranteed housing but I would get your application in as soon as you can. </p>
<p>Go Terps!!!</p>
<p>the sooner you get your housing application in, the better chance you have of getting a double room (instead of a triple or quad). not that triples or quads are bad, but most people like their privacy. timing of the housing deposit doesn't have anything to do with which residence hall you're placed in, though (at least not that i'm aware of).</p>
