My son had the 10+ plan and he usually didn't eat at the dining hall. My understanding was that he could either eat in the dining hall or spend up to a designated sum at any of the restaurants in the food court area. The 10 meal plan gave him the option to use it in any two of the three dining periods per day (breakfast and/or lunch and/or dinner.) All but one of the restaurants in the food court area honored the meal plan. (I don't remember which one didn't.) If he didn't actually eat a meal during the period he went over to the convenience store and bought snack food with his meal allotment, using the designated value for that meal (dinner is a bigger alottment than lunch or breakfast). He used the "plus" for weekends.
He didn't go hungry, but he didn't get a "freshman 15", either.
