Some advice on logistics for July 2026 exam

First time taker here and have lots of questions. Hopefully you can help me out with some of them based on your experience:

1. Can I bring my food and store it in the locker? (Was thinking a salad, sandwich)

2. I live close to LACMA, because of availability I choose Ontario, but now Galen Center became available. Read pros and cons about Galen, it´s closer but more chaotic vs Ontario being further but more calm. Haven't heard of Pasadena. I have a car and was planing to drive to Ontario, and if switching to Galen, was thinking about taking the bus to avoid parking struggle.

3. In any of those locations, heard I can choose where to sit. True? If it is, any recommendations?

4. Also heard that is always cold, so planing on wearing pants and bringing a jacket and maybe a chal for additional cover if needed.

I appreciate your help. What I prioritize the most in regards of traffic vs calm place, depends on how bad it is at more crowded places like Galen I suppose. I have ADHD so if there is a huge difference on the calmness felt in Ontario, than Galen, then I would stay in Ontario, but if it really doesn't make a difference I guess I prefer Galen for shorter distance.
