Down here, Grad students sometimes live in the dorms but it isn't that common. Usually, they are so freaking sick of those noisy little dorms and getting kicked out so your room-mate can get laid that they live off-campus or in married student housing. Where I go there is a dining hall, but you have to have a meal plan (which is usually only for those in residence). There are also student apartments on campus, but those do not have meal plan options. I guess I was thinking more of the latter.
