<p>Just wondering, since there will probably be a couple formal happenings at college, is it worth the struggle to bring my suit to college? I might even have to pack 2 full bags (max 23 kilograms per bag), and pay the extra baggage fee.</p>
<p>Do you guys bring your suit or is it not necessary?</p>
<p>Yes, I would definitely bring a suit! You never know when you’ll need it. You could want a part time job, be interviewed for something important like an internship, be invited to a semi formal or receive an important award at your school. I had no idea that I would be invited on a regional conference my freshman year that required formal attire and I’m glad that I didn’t miss out on that opportunity due to a lack of proper clothing. I’d rather be safe than sorry.</p>
<p>Brought my suit and tux and accompanying shirts, shoes, belts, cufflinks.
Was the go to guy for fancy parties because was I suited up and ready to roll.
Went to fun charity events, weddings, political events as a last minute date.
SChris- is your black/dark suit well tailored and fitted or do you need/can afford to get a newer more fitted suit?</p>
<p>I’m thinking about putting on10 kgs before I get new one. lost 8 in last 6 months and will 2 kgs in upcoming few months. :(</p>
<p>definitely bring the suit. and make sure that it’s well fitted.</p>
<p>Well not if u buy another one :D</p>

SwedishChris, your college’s forum would be the best place to find out what sort of clothing is necessary, but you can rest assured that 99.9% of students at an American college will NOT bring a tuxedo (or even own one), nor would any events arise where a tuxedo would be necessary. But even in that extremely unlikely circumstance, a tuxedo could easily be rented. Please don’t buy one! Many (probably most) students will also not have a suit at college, but will typically handle interviews and other “dressy” occasions with just a navy sports jacket and a nice pair of tan or grey slacks. There’s nothing more uncomfortable than showing up at an interview or other event when you are the only one wearing a suit. And if I remember correctly, you are attending college in a particularly informal part of the country.</p>
<p>There is no problem with my suit… The question was if I should bring it across half the globe and if it is worth the 100 dollars to do so. I don’t think I can fold my suit and pack it anyway, so please tell me how you guys traveled by plane and got your suit with you :)</p>
<p>You could wear it on the flight :)</p>

I had quite a number of classmates show up to class in a suit when they had an interview that day. Of course this depends on the (desired) occupation. Business majors were much more likely to catch suit-itis than tech folks or nursing students.</p>
