<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>If anyone could offer me advice, I would really appreciate it. I recently accepted an REU at college A (that will accommodate housing and my gluten-free diet - I have Celiac disease), and I rejected an REU at college B because they do not accommodate with housing or with my diet. If I'm going to go across the country, I don't want to have to take my car to find food just because I have Celiac disease.</p>
<p>However, college B accepted me first. I did not sign a contract, so I did not officially accept. However, I was in touch with them. I had two weeks to officially decide.</p>
<p>After emailing my decision to the director of all REUs, I got an email back that wasn't very nice, saying that my behavior was unacceptable and irresponsible, and that I can't do this.</p>
<p>What do I do?</p>
<p>I emailed college B directly that I will not be attending and told college A that I will be, but I'm worried my reputation will be hurt simply because I /almost/ accepted college B and the director seems to think that's the same thing as signing the contract.</p>
<p>Can the director stop me (i.e., funding for me) if I want to go to college A?</p>
