This can get kind of sticky, and every team makes their own guidlines.

Also, if the sponsor is paying for all of the expenses, the sponsor may not agree to pay for expenses relating to one more person.

Anyway, there are pros and cons to the situation, therefore, talk to the team leader first to see how this would be handled on that particular team.

It's actually funny, the only member on the team currently that seems to have a problem with me being there this year is my ex-girlfriend. Everyone else on the team is glad that i've came back, especially our engineers/mentors that I formed a bond with over the past 2 years.
