What to bring? (and a cell phone question)

S and I were just discussing the prospect of flying to USC with his guitars and his skis. So maybe some of you can weigh in on a couple questions.

It seems like most skiing opportunities would come after the Christmas break, and he might want his equipment at home over the break. So would he be missing out if he doesn’t have his ski stuff with him during Fall semester?

He plays both acoustic and electric guitar. He’s thinking he’ll bring just the acoustic. This sounds like a crazy question, but is there anyplace at USC (like in the music school) that loans out electric guitars, like an instrument library? Is it common for students to form bands in the dorms, like they do in high school?

What about other sports equipment? Should he drag along a tennis racket, soccer ball or ping pong paddle, or can you check those out for casual play?

Finally, does anyone know whether T-Mobile has good cell phone reception on campus?

Thanks!
