<p>The deadline is coming up soon to submit an application for second year housing at the dorms. I really want to live off campus, but I have yet to secure any sort of contract (it is a bit early considering most people haven't moved out yet).
Should i apply for dorm housing so I dont end up homeless next year if all house-finding options fail?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The deposit is only $20 which is not that much. I'm applying even though I plan to live off campus because you never know what might happen.</p>
<p>It is ALWAYS better to have options, and as calbear says the fee for applying is not very high. You're under no obligation to accept a housing offer, so it is in your best interests to apply just so you won't have to scramble to take the first housing opportunity that arises.</p>
