<p>I have 2 questions about freshman housing.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>When should prospective students apply? Is it like most public schools where I need to apply early whether or not I'm sure I'll be going there just to get a room or should I wait until I'm positive?</p></li>
<li><p>How do I apply? I heard somewhere that they'll send freshman a housing application, is that true? Or do I need to apply online somewhere?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If I remember correctly, you send in a housing deposit after you send in an admissions deposit, which would be after you decide that is where you are attending.</p>
<p>Two years ago, there was a housing packet. I don’t know whether it is all on-line now or not.</p>
<p>They will send you a housing application after you send in your deposit.</p>
<p>Should I worry that if I don’t decide to go to Pitt until April 30 they will run out of rooms? Do I need to decide sooner? And if so how long is too late to wait?</p>
<p>As long as you send in your housing deposit by the deadline, you are guaranteed three years of on-campus housing (you have to make the deadline each year too). The literature that Pitt sends to you will inform you of the deadline date.</p>
