<p>buriedalie - to answer your original question, you will get a certain amount of dine in dollars for your use at orientation. I think last year it was $60, this is included in your orientation cost. It will be in the form of a debit-type card. Your dine in dollars and bevo bucks that you will use for the next school year will show up on your housing account later. You will use your UT ID to access those funds. You can also use your ID to access your bevo bucks for things like coke machines and washer/dryers.</p>
<p>The food in the all you can eat locations is actually pretty good with a very large variety. As with anything, though, it can get boring eating in the same place all the time!</p>
