<p>I got accepted for civil engineering at SLO, but I have a couple of questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If I wait until I hear from UCs—How will this affect housing?Will I not get any at all or just leftovers</p></li>
<li><p>Can I accept and fill out housing for Cal Poly, but back out if I choose a UC</p></li>
<li><p>If #2 is possible,How will I tell SLO I changed my mind? email, letter, call,etc</p></li>
</ol>
<p>THANKS :]</p>
<ol>
<li><p>i think it depends on how late. prob just leftovers</p></li>
<li><p>you can, but you lose your deposit</p></li>
<li><p>i dont know</p></li>
</ol>
<p>all this coming from a guy who was waitlisted</p>
<p>I would go to SLO, my friend is a CE major at UCLA and is not happy.</p>
<p>Actually, you don’t lose your housing deposit if you cancel in writing before August 13.</p>
<p>my mistake, you dont lose your deposit, just $23 i think. and housing is guaranteed to freshmen</p>
<p>Since housing is guaranteed, I think I’ll just wait. My top choice for dorms is North Mountain (Engineering live learning)----Does this get occupied quickly?</p>
<p>wootwootman: housing is NOT guaranteed…</p>
<p>From what i can tell these dorms are not that popular. A friend of mine lives there and he likes it. My son and I visited and we liked it too. The complaints are that it is not as easy to be social. That might work well for busy engineering majors.</p>
<p>My son has accepted to Cal Poly (Materials Engineering) and we have completed the housing forms. He is 90% sure that he will attend CP, but he still has UC’s to hear from and could change his mind. I have heard that you can write a letter and Fax it and then you get almost all of the housing deposit back.
The problem with this is that we are taking a possible spot for another student who really wants in. Only do this if you are almost certain to go to CP. Otherwise, I would wait and apply to housing as soon as you decide. I don’t think housing is guaranteed at CP, but there is enough for Freshmen. You will get a spot and like I said, i don’t think North Mountain is as popular as many of the others. Hope this helped!</p>
<p>I agree with the love4learning. Go to SLO for engineering. i have heard nothing but positive things about the school!</p>
<p>canindindian: its not? i thought it was for freshmen…</p>
