<p>I was admitted into the honors program, but I don’t think I want to live in the honors housing. If I don’t, do I “forfeit” my right to live on Upper (therefore being thrown into the pool of everyone picking between Newton vs. Upper), or do I automatically get to be on Upper, even if I don’t want to be in Medeiros? I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.</p>
<p>ALSO: Does how early you make your deposit determine where you live? Thanks!!</p>
<p>Honors students don’t automatically get Upper. The only way to guarantee Upper for HP students is the Honors Housing. I don’t think the how early your deposit is sent determines where you live. I believe it’s pretty much a lottery between Upper and Newton.</p>
<p>^^Reddune has it right.^^</p>
<p>What’s the difference between living in upper or living in Newton anyway?</p>
<p>This question comes up all the time. I’ve posted some links to past discussions here.</p>
