[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Boston College in the 90s and it was all a points system. It was never an issue. So many people had points leftover at the end of the year that the dining hall (at least McElroy) put out big bags of candy and packs of soda for people to buy because the points don’t carry over. My brother loved getting giant bags of gummy bears from me.

These colleges gave been feeding students for decades. It’ll be fine. [/quote]
This may shock you to hear, but it's changed. BC dining charges a la carte, for each item, and does not have the unlimited buffet-style meal plan. The dining hall (McElroy where most freshman and sophomores eat) is set up in the old dining hall style of long communal tables. Still, I haven't heard any complaints (besides the usual that it's expensive and it's not fine dining). [/quote]

Isn’t that exactly what PP said?[/quote]
Yeah, that was funny! BC has never had an all-you-can-eat option, but they clearly know how many points people tend to need because it has worked for decades.

That being said, The Heights has an article about a possible change.
