Is there a penalty for late deposits?

<p>i.e., will I get shafted in the housing slots if I send in my deposit on April 30th? That's the way it is at many other colleges; is it true for Williams as well?</p>

<p>I just want to know how soon I should make my decision. Thanks.</p>

<p>Not at all. Williams does not require your deposit until you notify the college of your intent to enroll by May 1st. </p>

<p>You'll receive your first-year housing questionnaire (upon which next year's living assignments will be made) by mid-summer. I don't remember if it's in the first or second batch of paperwork -- but it can be filled out online.</p>

<p>Excellent. Thanks!</p>
