<p>My S will be at UPenn/Wharton this fall and I was wondering if there is any kind of dress code for classes. I know it may sound like a silly question, but when I've watched movies that take place at the Ivies they always show students dressed in shirts/ties or suits. What does a freshman need to have in his closet to survive?</p>
<p>2 two piece suits 2 three piece suits 1 black tux. But if you really want to succeed, he needs a powder blue tux. LOL. There is no dress code. My cuz goes to Harvard and he wears jeans and tshirts</p>
<p>This must be a joke. Movies are called movies for a reason.</p>
<p>hahaha yeah…things aren’t always what they seem. A suit, or just some more formal gear, is nice just because clubs/frats/sororities sometimes have formals or dressier events. They’re also helpful for interviews, but other than that…you could show up to class in your pj’s. No one would care.</p>
<p>Movies are just movies…but the Ivies can be a bit intimidating. I’m the only one in my immediate family who has gone to college but I went to small schools that most people have never heard of for both undergraduate and graduate. I just don’t want him to stick out…it will be hard enough going to college knowing that more than 3/4 of your classmates families pay more taxes each year than my entire salary.</p>
<p>He has a 2 piece and a 3 piece…probably 4 or 5 dozen ties and a tux…along with several sweater vests!! Although he would much rather be in shorts and a t or pj pants…the role out of bed look. Too bad we ditched the powder blue tux he wore to prom last yr to match his gf’s dress! lol</p>
