<p>I know the acceptance deposit goes towards tuition (actually, now it's less know, and more hope), however I'm not sure where my 1000 CAD goes to?</p>
<p>Do I get it refunded in the end of the year, assuming my room isn't trashed? Does it go towards paying room and board, or does it, too, go towards tuition?</p>
<p>bump...I'm hoping a current or past McGill parent reads this...</p>
<p>no. it just goes to your rent.</p>
<p>I am a McGill parent and I don't even quite remember the deposit-you only get your 1st year on campus at McGill, then you are on your own.
If there was a deposit, then I am assuming it was applied to the yearly rent on your dorm. In fact, it must have been.</p>
<p>so to be 100% correct, my 1000 CAD goes towards my rez expenses. So if I got into Douglas, for example, the set price is ~ $9800. After my deposit, it would actually be $8800, or are the figures they calculated already set to include the deposit?</p>
<p>lets say you need to pay mcgill 8,000 dollars for rez. so thats 1000 per month.
your deposit would cover the first month's rent, and you'd owe a balance of 7000 after that.</p>
<p>Hi there. Regarding to your question, I asked the housing officer already. They said that the CAD1000 will be deducted from the total amount. Besides, there will be a price hike in the accommodation fee this year.</p>
<p>price hike?! damnit.</p>
