<p>This is a pretty stupid question, but I haven't even begun looking through housing options at NYU. In fact, I'm still deciding on a college but right now, I'm 70% sure I'm headed towards NYU. However, I don't plan to send my deposit until the last possible day.</p>
<p>My question is: Has everyone who knows they're going to NYU sent in housing applications already? Am I pretty much destined for a dorm no one wants because I'll be sending in housing stuff so late? I'm clueless about the housing situation right now...</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>o yeah i'd like an answer to this question too
i'm about to send in my deposit but am i a little late
i want to get low-cost housing
If i don't end up being offered that, can i just not dorm?</p>
<p>As long as you fill out your housing application before the deadline, you will have equal opportunity to list your housing preference. According to the housing office (which I have called three times regarding this question), the date you submit your application does not affect your housing priority because all the applications are processed in June.</p>
<p>unreal: i heard that from a few other people too. </p>
<p>moose: i think when you fill out the housing application you need to submit a $1000 deposit. so if you dont get the low-cost housing you want and you decide not to dorm, then you lose your $1000. but if that doesnt matter to you, then you dont have to dorm if you dont want to.</p>
