Feast vs. famine: Students describe their Trojan Points situation

TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION) — The semester is quickly ending, and some students are finding it hard to make their Trojan Points last to the end of the semester.

With finals already underway, some students are trying to make their food choices count as they are running out of points.

“I have 0.2 cents left,” said Freshman Heather Roberts
“I have zero. I haven’t had any since February,” said Lewis Bell, a junior.
“Zero. I haven’t had any since January,” said Junior Chelsey Townsend.

This shortage of points is affecting most students regardless of their meal plan.

“I started with the nine swipes and 500 Trojan points,” commented Roberts.
“I am off campus, so I have the commuter plan,” explained Townsend.

END OF THE SEMESTER: Students prepare for final exams

However, some students have been more resourceful with their points and still have enough to get them through the semester.

“I have 100 points left,” said Connor Curnutte, a senior. “I have a very low appetite, so I have way more than I need.”

Students running low on points said that they have other options.

“Since I have the nine swipes a week, I can eat at Saga. I am good on that,” said Roberts.
“Our friends look out for us, and I have been using my money,” commented Bell.

With the semester ending on May 14th, students are hopeful that their only worry is about their finals and not where they get their next meal.

A reminder that any remaining Trojan Points students may have will expire at the end of the semester, which means they will not carry over into the fall.
