Lia’s Answer

If you are still in the admission cycle and have not committed to a school you are free to change your mind as many times as you want. Once the registration deadline closes and you have registered and committed to a school it is still technically possible to switch but it becomes a little more difficult. You would need to work closely with admissions at both schools

Technically, you can. It won't be easy though, and you definitely will want to discuss your decision with the admissions office of the college that you've signed with. There's a lot of factors to consider, such as- how sure you are that you want to switch, how early it is in the admissions cycle, as well as whether your agreement has a stated policy around if you change your mind. These can affect the negative consequences of switching, such as your reputation. So the sooner you decide you want to switch, and reach out to the admissions office, the more options you will have.

If you switch well in advance of the beginning of your first semester. If you paid a deposit to the first college you will not get a refund in most cases.
