It depends like for Detroit we stay at home or some people may sleep over at at another team members house. Then we meet at school. But for Grand Rapids where staying since it's to far to come back and fourth everyday.

This year, 461 will be hosting the Boilermaker Regional, so it's a new experience for us. Here's what I speculate (I'm not totally sure right now) will happen: I think we're gonna be going straight to the event sans buses. Our school is within 2 minutes of the Purdue University Armory building, so it's just illogical to work with buses. Also, many of our mentors are campus residents, so it's easier for them to get to the building by walking. 461 will be participating in the regional, but we also have our Regional committee (College kids & some faculty and other team reps) that organizes stuff, so they may have something for us to do. Rest is really important, so I'm thankful I'll get to sleep in my bed and relax.
