roomate request

Does anyone know if I have to be committed (send in my deposit) in order to send in my roommate request? I know I’m going to Maryland I am just not able to send in my deposit as my dad is out of town. Can I still send in my roommate request? He has sent in his deposit and is ready to send it in. Thanks

I’m pretty sure you can request housing and a roomate before you pay deposit. I’m absolutely sure about the housing. Congrats. It’s a great place.
