Title: Residential college - move out midyear?
Post by: mandystsai on February 07, 2013, 09:30:09 am

I just have a quick question. I've accepted a place at Whitley college, but now my friend, who was planning to defer, is going to start this year. So I would like to rent out an apartment with her instead. Unfortunately I already paid the deposit for Whitley and don't want to waste it. So I was wondering if it was possible to move out of college midyear? They also accept midyear applications, so people must move out midyear right?

Thanks!

It is possible to move out of College midyear - I have a friend who did exactly that. Granted, I'm not sure if it varies from college to college (this was Newman)

I moved out of a college at ANU midyear - you might forfeit a couple of weeks of board, but otherwise, you generally can.

Alright, thanks guys. We can choose to pay in two lots, one in Semester 1 and one in Semester 2. So if I move out in the holidays it shouldn't be an issue.
