<p>DS is trying to decide between Temple & VCU but leaning towards Temple. He was at Experience Temple Day last weekend and going to VCU's Accepted Students Day next week. How long can he wait to decide and still get housing? Also, how soon after putting down a deposit can he choose a room?</p>
<p>hi. Just saw this. I think recomended date for housing is on or before May 1st. please double check on website. i think once he pays deposit down, he can select room. there may be a little lag for deposit to be recorded into Temple’s system but my kid seemed to have room option pretty soon after he paid deposit. </p>
<p>thanks We paid his deposit last Friday but he probably won’t see confirmation of it till today. </p>
<p>I heard housing finished up by mid-April so I made a quick decision to pay my deposit early in April. But I can confirm that there’s still housing left in Johnson and Hardwick and there’s a bunch of students who have locked rooms but are still looking for roommates so I think you’ll be fine.</p>
