You are not a slave or a criminal, so you can't be forced to attend. However, you probably paid a down payment and you will not get that money back. Also, you will lose any scholarship money you were offered and if you change your mind again it will be gone. If you were accepted by a different school then that acceptance is probably cancelled by now, so you are out of luck in both directions.
Still, it is better to lose a down payment rather than spend many months and many thousands of dollars doing something you dont like. You can always apply to other schools for admission in January or for next September. But I wouldnt count on applying to this school again after you screwed them by withdrawing.
You might consider this - if you sort of want to go there but you are just not sure, and maybe you want to take some time off to think it over? OK, then call or write them and ask if you can defer attending for a term or a year. Then they will just postpone your acceptance and you will be able to come to school later probably with the same financial package that you have now. And if you defer and then decide that you want to withdraw, you can do so later. That might be the best choice.... You did like this school enough to apply and accept them... so give yourself some time to think it over.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! I was accepted into my 2nd choice school about two months ago and tomorrow is their orientation. Today I heard that I was accepted into my first choice! I had already put money into the 2nd choice school to hold my spot, so I know I won't be seeing that money anymore, but I am really excited about the other school.
Don't feel guilty that you have changed your mind. When I told the other school that I won't be attending, they were furious and put me under the impression that I was easily replaced. I didn't care. All that matters is that you're happy going where you want to go. The money thing is a downside, but in the long run, after you graduate and get a job, you'll see it again =) best of luck to you!

There are always many other students on the waiting list. You can decline an offer even on the first day of classes. Just know where you will be going after that.

You should have asked for advice before you declined. You could have asked for a deferment. Now you'll just have to take your chances along with all the other applicants.

Yes, you can drop out at any point.
Do you have any financial aid coming to you through the school? If so, then you'll want to tell the financial aid office that you are withdrawing so you can go through the necessary steps to nullify that.
If you don't have any inbound funds, then just drop the classes in which you've enrolled. If you aren't enrolled in any, then you don't have to do anything.
