<p>If you sign up for Freshman Experience then it’s required.
The “unlimited” and “unlimited +5” plans also come with Buzz Funds and a gift card that you can use at any rest. on campus and the bookstore B&N.
From the website it also looks like you can use your meal plan at the Food Court too,so you’re not really limited to the 2 Dining Halls only with the plans.
The plans that aren’t “unlimited” give you a certain amount of meals per week during specific times and I think you can only use those plans at the dining halls.They don’t carry over.
Check out their website.
I think you can also change plans before classes begin if you change your mind or later with stipulations</p>
