<p>i never really used to be a sweat-pants and t-shirt kind of person. supposedly, in college, i'll need lots of these just to go to class with, or to the gym or just lounge around. how many did/do you guys bring. im gonna ask the girls more because a typical guy will say something like "two pairs of shorts & 2 shirts"(no offense). how many pairs of sweatpants/shorts/t-shirts would you think would be alright?</p>
<p>If you don't wear this stuff now, why on earth would you change just because you're now in college? Old habits die hard. :)</p>
<p>I agree with the poster above...But I'd say, bring at least ONE set of comfy sweats. If you end up sick while on campus you'll be miserable- no creature comforts of home, no parents to pamper you. Sweats might brighten your mood a little! (Or so I've been told from friends of mine who are away at school).</p>
<p>But no need to change your wardrobe! You'll just stand out more if the college you go to is a sweats & shorts kind of school- not a bad thing :)</p>
<p>You only need one pair of clothes to go to the gym in... wearing sweats to class is like wearing pajamas to class - it does happen, but it looks sloppy. The usual jeans & t shirt works perfectly well for everyday wear.</p>
<p>Where did you go to hs and where are you going to college? (don't answer) </p>
<p>Assuming that you didn't have to wear a uniform or formal wear at hs, just plan on dressing casually but CLEAN at college. Unless you will be facing cold weather in November/December, just dress like you normally do for school, home, going to the mall or a movie, etc. </p>
<p>But PLEASE do bring plenty of clean underwear and socks, because no one likes a musty, funky roommate. Bring enough for 2-weeks and plan on doing your laundry once a week.</p>
<p>laundry once a week sounds rather frequent :P.. once every two to three weeks sounds more like it - although I guess it depends on how many clothes you have and how badly your laundry basket reeeks.</p>
<p>AHH!! Laundry! Luckily I have a year till college but I have no idea how i m gonna learn how to do that!!!!!</p>
<p>"laundry once a week sounds rather frequent :P.. once every two to three weeks sounds more like it -"</p>
<p>Is your dorm room downwind from the UC Davis cows? After 3 weeks of dirty clothes laying around, your room will smell like the cow pasture!</p>
<p>Actually.. yes my UC davis dorm room was downwind of the cows in tercero! But still... inside smelt normal (I kept my windows and door shut) - outside smelt like cow in the early mornings and late evenings. If you rolled around in the cow pasture, yes you should do laundry frequently.</p>
