You'll essentially be a holdover tenant if you don't leave on the previously agreed upon date, so the reality is you could get into legal trouble because they could pursue an eviction and other monetary damages against you.

Does anyone have any advice for pursuing properties of this kind?

If you decide not to go to then so be it.What if you don't go to College and pursue Wholesale and realize that Wholesale is not for you.

Is it such a great deal that you want to pursue it?
