<p>With graduation approaching, I keep getting emails about joining the general alumni association (not a student membership that you get during the school year, but as an alumni member for seniors graduating this semester). The discounted rate is supposed to be 585 upfront, or payment plans spanning over two or five years. Is anyone out there an alumni member and how much of the advertised benefits are real? And also, would it be of much benefit if I was for instance, living abroad for a long time (maybe they have social meetings only in the us)?</p>
<p>I’m a member. I like getting the magazine, but other than that I haven’t really taken advantage of it. I’m not sure if there are any great benefits I’m missing out on or not. Sorry, that’s not very helpful, I know.</p>
