<p>so yeah the title....I've been accepted into my number one choice....and I still haven't heard from two other colleges, but I honestly don't care about them. So yeah, is there a benefit to sending in my deposit now? thx</p>
<p>no benefit</p>
<p>actually you need to find out if housing is related to the date you pay/commit. At some schools housing is assigned based on the time of commitment.....payment of deposit. I would investigate this before you conclude that it makes NO difference.</p>
<p>okay so there isn't necessarily a benefit (I don't think my school does housing based on payment) is there a disadvantage?</p>
<p>I agree with hazmat.</p>

<p>MANY schools fulfill housing assignments based on compliance with dates for payment.......and since the OP didn't divulge the school we cannot make a specific yes or no...well at least prudent responders cannot.</p>
<p>Okay so besides housing is there anything else?</p>
<p>no other benefit</p>
<p>is it a non-refundable deposit?</p>
