accept at more than one school -- ethically correct?

College A has accepted son but will not allow him to apply for housing until he sends in his deposit to enroll in the school but the housing for the honors program is LIMITED and they assign based on the enrollment date (when you send in the deposit). They spell this out in the admissions packet with the advice to enroll ASAP to get the housing. College B will not announce decision until April 1. Do we take the chance of him losing out of the honors housing at College A? We are leaning toward sending in the enrollment deposit and so he can get the housing he wants. I just feel bad that he may have to withdraw if he decides to go to College B (if they accept him).
