<p>Okay, points= dollars one for one. But what was difficult to determine was the average cost in dollars/points of meals and sandwiches at Trabant and other food courts. Will 150 points equal more like 50 or 30 meals.</p>
<p>Generally if you multiply out meals under the plans by number of days and number of weeks in the semester, the 19/15/10 weekly meal plans give you slightly more meals but less points (and flexibility) over buying a block number of meals. The blocks offer more flexibility and carry over. They seem better if a child often does or will not eat either breakfast or lunch, or due to schedule and classes will likely be closer to a Food Court than a dorm.</p>
<p>Still a question of how large a block to buy along with how many points. I suspect most of us will get it “wrong” the first semester.</p>
