Quiet vs Nonquiet dorms

This really sucks that because of sending in the “late deposit”, I’ll be stuck with a pricier dorm. This makes me really ****ed off because I’m STILL waiting to hear about my appealed financial aid from another school and that would have really made my decision either way, but NO they won’t make a decision until 4/30. Are they friggen kidding me?! I’m definitely sending in my enrollment deposit to Carnegie tomorrow but I’m really upset that I won’t be able to get one of the cheaper housing options as that’s what I was banking on. I honestly don’t have a preference given the dorms but I just want a normal priced one (ie. the ones they allotted in the budget or cheaper) but it doesn’t appear those are still available. =(

On a side note, how exactly do I send in the deposit online? Detailed instructions please because I just quickly glanced at the “now that I’m admitted page” and it said :

Fall 2010 Enrollment Reply Form

To accept our offer of admission, all admitted candidates, including financial aid awardees, must send a check or money order for $800 along with the Enrollment Reply form, postmarked on or before May 1, 2010. This deposit will be credited to your account and is non-refundable or transferable. Please complete this form, sign and return it with your check, money order or MASTERCARD/VISA payment form made payable to Carnegie Mellon University. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH.

So I’m assuming I’m looking at the wrong link?

I feel horrible for placing this burden on my parents even though they saved the money for me to go to college :(
