For out-of-town ALM students/graduates, is it worth it to apply for membership and pay the initiation dues now, or wait until membership is offered at graduation?

I want to add that I could utilize the facility at least 3 times between a summer course, this fall, and the spring. The reciprocal club availability is also enticing.

Good early investment? Opportunities to attend networking events while in town?

Happy to hear any advice and suggestions.

For those of you flying in for one or both summer sessions, can you share what you intend to pack versus what you intend to purchase once you arrive? I'm trying to limit myself to two suitcases, but I know I will not be able to take everything because it will take up too much space (pillow(s)). I will be living on campus.

Bonus points if you want to share your packing list if you’re staying on campus.
