<p>DD has the least expensive meal plan her school offers. Their plan is completely points based…not a number of meals per week or semester. She has the maximum convenience points and the minimum meal points. Still at the end of the term, she always has extras as what SHE eats doesn’t cost a lot of points. She can roll her points over to the next semester in a school year, but not from year to year. Last May, she was helping feed the starving guys who had run out of points. She also stocked up on non-perishable items from the campus convenience store like shampoo, toothpaste, etc. She just stored these things for the summer and it saved her having to purchase them when she arrived this fall. I will say…she is not whining about her food choices…and she can eat off campus at a number of eateries using her dining hall points.</p>
