<p>I know I'm going to be ridiculed for asking this, but I don't care because I NEED to know. What do students at Columbia dress like? Are they very preppy or or do they go casual? I'm just wondering..being NYC and Columbia at that...I just don't want to stand out. I was a day scholar at a boarding school so I'm used to preppy outfits. I'm worried I might be overdressed or under dressed :P</p>
<p>Wear what you are comfortable wearing. </p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if the student to your left is wearing sweats or the student to your right is wearing a tucked in button down shirt, pressed slacks, and dress shoes. </p>
<p>Students at Columbia dress lots of different ways, from slob to urban sophisticate to geek to preppy to hipster. There’s no dominating style. Wear what you like. No one will care.</p>
