<p>ok - i was just looking at the housing website.</p>
<p>my DD has not been accepted yet, so we don't have to worry about this yet, but ...</p>
<p>it says you can apply for housing once you have been admitted and that you can get your money back if you cancel by may 1 (decide to go somewhere else or live off campus) you get the full 300 deposit back.</p>
<p>so, you don't have to actually commit to a&m before you apply for housing???</p>
<p>is this the norm??</p>
<p>You don’t even have to commit to A&M even after applying for housing. You’ll just lose your $300 deposit if you decide to go to another university. Please note that you’ll most likely get temperary to no housing if you apply for housing near the deadline.</p>
<p>it says refundable as long as you cancel by may 1. how do you lose your deposit???</p>
<p>I meant that if you changed your mind after May 1 and decide to attend somewhere else. I’m just saying that you just don’t have to commit to A&M before or after May 1st. But yes, if you cancel by May 1st, you will get your deposit back.</p>
<p>aah! ok, that’s what i thought!</p>
