If you do buy the Trojan Plan (which my S's friend did), you will be VERY popular toward the end of the term, treating your friends to help spend all your dining $$$. My S bought lots of candy & brought it home for winter break. I was surprised because he's not a "junk food" kid & he admitted they were all helping the friend use up all his money on the Trojan Plan. My S was happy enough with his meal plan, but I suspect next year when he's in the apartment he'll be asking us to go for the cheaper plan that allows him to eat fewer meals at the dining halls & have fewer dining dollars, so he has more flexibilitly. I actually like him having the Cardinal or Gold meal plan so I can urge him to be sure to eat regularly since we already paid for him to do so (I'm afraid he might otherwise decide to skimp & not eat as well as he should at times), but we can talk it over this summer & figure out what he thinks best.
