You’re absolutely right Mflash, but that’s the way it is. At UC, housing choice is first-come, first-serve, and it opened February 3rd. We’re hoping for some merit aid in the form of Cincinnatus, but won’t really know that till March. If UC is high on your list, losing the deposit is worth it, if you don’t get the kind of aid you want, or need. That was my thinking in applying ASAP anyway.

Oh, and as far as being able to update your room preferences is concerned, since many missed the one chance they have when they’re submitting the application for the first time, they’ll be providing a link to “update your housing preferences” in early march, prior to the first round of assignments. They say your place in the assignment queue will be based on when the application was initially submitted, however.

Good luck to you and your son.
