<p>If your child is going to want a particular honors hall…or want to choose suitemates…or is only going to want frosh suitemates…</p>
<p>Then you should deposit within the next month or two. The housing deposit is refundable. The housing app ($25) is not. The enrollment deposit is not refundable.</p>
<p>If you wait until next spring to deposit, then this is what might happen…</p>
<p>1) dorm your D wants is full
2) D can’t find a suite that has more than 1 empty bed in it and she wants her new Facebook pal(s) to be suitemate(s).
3) D can’t find a suite that has an empty bed in it that also has frosh in it. </p>
<p>A couple of years ago, a few families waited til April to deposit and then whined that “Susie” couldn’t get her hall choice or find a completely empty suite for her and her friends.</p>
<p>The whole process is like getting a hotel room at WDW. If you book early, you’ll get your fav hotel. If you book much later, the only vacancies may be in a hotel that is fine, but not a top choice. </p>
<p>All NMFs will get an honors super suite if they want one…but if you don’t deposit in a timely manner, you won’t have a choice as to what is left.</p>
<p>Debbie…have you and your D visited Bama?</p>
