That said, it’s important to consider how much time and energy you can commit to the organization and whether the benefits align with your goals. You might also ask your friend about their personal experience, as it can provide insight into the specific advantages they found.
Ultimately, if you feel that the benefits align with your academic and professional aspirations, it could be a worthwhile decision. Good luck with your choice!
