[quote=Anonymous]OP you knew what the terms were going in and you agreed to them.  I'm not sure why you think you shouldn't have to.  Perhaps the school director did a bit of "puffing" about the number of spots available or perhaps there really were only two spots available at that time.  But would you really have not given the deposit and signed the contract if you knew there were actually six spots available?  Either way you could have been shut out, so I bet you would have done it anyway.

Without having seen the contract, my guess is if they don't end up filling all 16 spots, you are obligated to pay the full amount.  Whether or not the school pursues it is anyone's guess.  If they do ultimately fill the class, you may still be obligated depending on the wording of the contract, but it's probably less likely that they will pursue it.  Your best bet might be to negotiate a compromise, whereby you give them some amount of money without hassle or legal fees and in exchange they release you from the contract.

Where is the school located?  If it's in VA, $7K would be under the jurisdiction of General District Court, a forum that would make it pretty easy and inexpensive for the school to file suit.  In DC they would have to file in Superior Court, which is much more hassle, or cap the suit at $5K and sue in small claims.     [/quote]
