Multiple deposits? Good idea/bad idea? Why?

I’m sorry, but the airline and housing deposits do NOT compare to college deposits. The universities in the U.S. came to an agreement on the final date for accepting spots in their schools as a group. This date is MAY 1. If you double deposit, you are going against this agreed upon date. NO ONE made an agreement about housing deposits or airline tickets. BUT there is one for college decisions…and it is well known and well published by every college in the country. By May 1, students should place ONE deposit…not two or three to buy themselves more time…ONE. That is the way the system is set up. Stop trying to figure out ways to “game the system”. Get your minds made up in a timely fashion. No one said it would be easy…it’s not. But the deadline is no big secret.
