College Convocation(former or current college students please!)
In a few days I'll be a freshman and we're required to attend a meeting/speech/whatev thingy called Convocation. It is our "first formal college event." My question is do I have to dress up? What am I supposed to wear? It doesn't say that, but I was just wondering.

I hope I have answered in time for you convocation. Just to let you know, when I went to mine a few years ago it was no big deal. Most everyone was in FLIP FLOPS! Unless you attend some snooty college or private school perhaps, then really...there is no dress code, but that of the school. Hell, my convocation was optional anyways. It's silly and unnecessary. Be strong, school will be fine for you.

You should always look nice in class. No you don't have to be formal but a good first impression is worth the time to prepare. Many of the students will dress casual and unless you have a strict dress code it won't matter how you look. College and high school are so different. In college if you don't act right they just kick you out. They don't care if you show up or not. they don't care if you learn. You pay the money and if you want to learn, OK. If you don't OK. They won't make you learn or pay attention. As long as you don't disrupt the class you are on your own.
Have fun!!!!

I'm not in college, but ask around. If you don't really know anyone, then just wear something you would wear to church. Nothing too special, but nothing awful like sweats.
