I used to be student member several years ago and I received a lot of magazines in the mail. It also looks okay on a resume. I believe if you're going to practice public accounting, you have to become a member of the AICPA if I'm remembering that correctly.

Most of the firms will pay for your AICPA membership. As far as the benefits I have no idea.

Same here, I have a student membership for resume purposes. You get the Journal of Accountancy in the mail every month is about the only benefit I got out of it.
