no deposit needed?

<p>I decided to attend this UIUC and already mailed them that I am going. There is no deposit cost or whatever like other universities? All my friends have to deposit like 500 dollars to their university, but I couldn't find anywhere stating that I have to deposit for UIUC.</p>

<p>I would like to know that too. Also I would like to know what happens if you decide not to go after you already accepted their offer.</p>

<p>When you apply for housing there is a deposit, but there is none for sending your acceptance for the offer of admission. In fact, if you accept and give deposit for housing and then actually attend, the next bill you will get to pay anything won't come until about the third week in September when they bill you for all amounts for the first semester. If you decide not to go, you inform them of that fact and you are removed as an accepted student from their records. For housing, you will lose your deposit if the withdrawal is after May 1. UIUC does not have any policy of vindictiveness designed to make you attend.</p>
