<p>Having been accepted early, I just received my acceptance package (and I assume that RD'ers did or will too). I was wondering:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>which meal plan are you going for? For current students, how many times a day do you eat at a dining hall? Would it be inconvenient to go for the Bear Basic plan?</p></li>
<li><p>future students, do you know where you want to live? Current students, what type of housing plan would you suggest for a male engineering student, no preference for single-sex/co-ed, non-smoker (incase some dorms are known to have a lot of smokers). </p></li>
<li><p>I think that I would prefer a single room, but would you suggest getting one? I'm afraid that a single might make meeting new people more difficult. </p></li>
<li><p>on the instruction sheet it says, "When you accept our invitation... blah blah we'll send you a handbook". This doesn't apply to ED'ers, since we've already technically accepted, right? </p></li>
</ul>
<p>This is really exciting : D</p>
<p>"- which meal plan are you going for? For current students, how many times a day do you eat at a dining hall? Would it be inconvenient to go for the Bear Basic plan?"</p>
<p>When i lived on campus, two meals a day plus $500 bucks was more than enough. </p>
<p>"- future students, do you know where you want to live? Current students, what type of housing plan would you suggest for a male engineering student, no preference for single-sex/co-ed, non-smoker (incase some dorms are known to have a lot of smokers)."</p>
<p>Not sure on this one, never lived on north. </p>
<p>"- I think that I would prefer a single room, but would you suggest getting one? I'm afraid that a single might make meeting new people more difficult."</p>
<p>singles are the best, you wont have any touble meeting people. </p>
<p>"- on the instruction sheet it says, "When you accept our invitation... blah blah we'll send you a handbook". This doesn't apply to ED'ers, since we've already technically accepted, right?"</p>
<p>no, you'll get it as well when they get them in. usually in the summer.</p>
<p>meal plan: i'm on the traditional meal plan (14 meals a wekk + 500BRB) and I use almost all my meals every week...i always eat breakfast and usually dinner in a dining hall. most of my friends are on the 10 meal/week plan b/c they don't eat breakfast. the BRB's will carry you through the semester for sure.</p>
<p>living on north: I'm living in dickson and it's pretty nice. In the end though , you don't have a choice. </p>
<p>on singles: I have a single. It is great. I signed up for the double thinking I should have that cliche college experience but a single ist he way to go. Especially since you arn't female and won't be put in balch, I recommend askign for a single.</p>
