Texas State's L-B-J Student Center accepts meal trades at its food stations, but some students are concerned that all but two of the food places wait until after one p-m to start the trades. Lauren Levy has more in this Bobcat Update.

Chartwells offers the meal trade program as a way for students to have access to food while on the go. Meal trades vary by food station and are not available at Starbucks, the U-A-C Café, or Paws N Go.
Stand-up
Some students' schedules make it hard for them to wait until after 1 p-m, so they're forced to either eat upstairs or at another dining location.
SB
The dining halls are the only food venues open on the weekends; therefore, freshmen have limited options for where they can use their meal trades.

Freshmen are not the only ones affected. Upperclassmen also find problems with the timing for meal trades, since lines are longer after one o'clock.

Chartwells says it considered its peak business hours and space availability when it decided to start trades after one o'clock.

The university's housing policy requires anyone who lives on campus to purchase a meal plan. For Bobcat Update, I'm Lauren Levy.
