Accept two unfunded offers?

[mr.potato]

How bad is it to accept two offers, especially this late? 

 

I already accepted one offer but I recently got a late acceptance to my top choice. I want withdrawal from the former and take the offer from the later.

 

Before I do any of that, I need to figure some things out like if there is any grad housing left and if there are any grad student jobs still available which I cannot do this unless I accept the offer. They're both unfunded master's so I'm not taking money from anyone else and advisers won't be assigned for another few weeks.   

 

If this is something I absolutely should not do, then I'll stick with the school I already accepted.

Since they are both unfunded masters and one is your top choice I would say go for it, but see what other people say. Good luck!

I don't think the same commitment exists to unfunded programs, so I think you should go to your top choice once you verify that it has the things you need.

 

But why can't you find out those things before you accept?  Call the graduate housing office and find out if they have any more housing; if you explain that you were newly accepted, they'll probably tell you.  Tell them it will help you decide.  (Also, you don't have to live in grad housing - you can get an apartment on the regular market.)

I wanted to accept to access the message boards to I can see if anyone still needs a roommate and to view the student job boards both of which are only available only to matriculated students.
