Should we be concerned about housing if DS does not submit SIR until close to end of the month? He is undecided and has several choices, and most of them do not have admitted students day until closer to the end of the month. My understanding is that you can not submit a housing application until you submit SIR. Can you withdraw if you submit SIR now, or are you tied to your decision? I don’t think he has a strong preference for housing (although he did mention something about the towers), but just wants to make sure that he has housing for next year if he chooses Cal Poly.
Freshman are guaranteed housing, so he will definitely have a place even if he doesn’t accept his admissions until later in April. He likely will not get his preference, however. It is true that you cannot apply for housing until you commit to going to Cal Poly. There is a $2125 housing deposit that you must pay to secure housing. It is refundable until August.
