It does not matter if you apply right away for housing just make sure you apply by the priority date. Everyone that applies by the date will get a housing reservation time and it is randomized. Last year everyone that applied by the priority date did end up eventually getting housing. This year they have made some changes that will be helpful and make it less stressful. One you have to pay a non refundable enrollment fee in addition to the housing reservation fee. They pushed back the priority housing dates to April 3 for LLC/TC housing applications and May 3 for traditional housing. It used to be March and so a lot of students hadn’t received all their decisions yet or financial aid and so applied for housing and got rooms but then didn’t decide to go to Utah. Also, if your student has a scholarship that includes money for a room they also get some priority for a room assuming they apply by the priority date!
