Even if you did not get a letter yet with your dorm assignment you can probably tell what type of room you got by looking at the housing fees on your account that are available today. Add the amount due for housing to the $225 deposit and then lookup the dorm rates. The prepaid dorms are now $1890 instead of $1800 for 2005 rates. The good thing about getting one of those dorms is:

1. The hall bathrooms are cleaned. (Especially good for guys.)

2. Halls encourage more socialization than suites.

3. The price is cheaper (free for prepaid dorm plan participants)

4. You don’t have to buy a meal plan.

I found out that with garnet/flex bucks you get $1 off the price of meals in the cafeterias but no discount for the other restaurants.
Discounted prices are $5.95 for breakfast, $6.95 for lunch & $7.95 for dinners in Suwanee or Fresh Food Company using garnet bucks.
