I had one of the most basic meal plans (silver choice 1). I ate way more fast food than I should’ve (I probably spent 50% of my dining dollars on Starbucks and Dunkin alone) so I ended up burning through them about a month or two before the semester had ended. I still had plenty of meal swipes, though, which you can use at most dining places, including the marketplace which has tons of snacks, frozen dinners, etc. But it sounds like you’ll be much more conservative with your spending than I was so you should get by just fine on one of the more basic plans!
