Who else lost their dorm damage deposit?

<p>My son is upset because he's heard that everyone on his wing is losing their $100 damage deposit. While he admits there is some damage, he doesn't think it's over $2,000 worth. We've had this discussion on the parents' board, but most of the deposits have been around $50. What is your experience?</p>

<p>We didn’t have deposits, but they do charge stuff to your tuition bill for the next semester. Someone punched a hole in the wall (twice) in our wing and they split the charges between everyone which is kinda crappy but it was only like $6 each time. We had to pay $185 to replace a door that we used as a beerpong table too.</p>

<p>We have the “add it to your tuition” as well. It’s also on a dorm-by-dorm basis, since we don’t really have hallways (apartment style suites only). Pretty much, if it wasn’t on our beginning-of-the-year housing form, and we didn’t call maintenance, we get charged.</p>
