So....here's the thing

<p>I was wondering if I pay the housing/tuition deposit but decide at the last minute NOT to go, would they hold me accountable?
I mean, does paying the deposit bind you to Northeastern?</p>

<p>The reason i'm asking is that I'm waiting on the waitlist for another school, but I know that I'll have to prepare beforehand in case I dont get in..</p>

<p>I heard all the horror stories about last minute housing and I DO NOT want to be stuck in a triple...
So can I pay the housing deposit but STILL have the option of withdrawing my place at the school?</p>

<p>well yes you can still withdrawal. The deposit is non-refundable, but it's certainly not binding.</p>
