You pay in advance as usual. The price depends on how long you want your meal plan to last. All the money goes into your Basic Account so once your meal plan term is over (depending how much you pay), you lose the money. You can also pay more during the year to extend your meal plan term. I did the math in another thread, but I'm sure you can handle calculating how much you would need to spend every weekday to use up all the money by the end of the term.
Some random information or things you should look into:
Is it worth having 2 term meal plans (one for first term and one for second term and therefore not paying for the exam months)
How much would you need to spend everyday
Are you only looking to buy food on-campus or would you like to buy food off-campus as well.

the next unit had a 7% discount. this was the freedom plan. they had no expiry date, could be used for off campus restaurants (east side mario etc) and can be carried over to next yaer

Flex and Freedom both do not expire and can be interchanged. But only residence people are allowed to have a flex account.
