<p>Is there some kind of a dress code at Brown? I mean, a certain way that you’re supposed to dress up when going to class? Or can you just wear what you normally wear? And what is considered normal on campus? What brand names do most people wear at Brown? What stores do people shop at?</p>
<p>Well, I'll answer the first part, at least: Wear whatever the hell you want.</p>
<p>Yeah truly. Especially at Brown. It doesn't matter at all. We got selected as the "Most Stylish" Ivy League school a year or two ago, but that also probably came from RISD. I'd just wear whatever you want, no one really cares.</p>
<p>I was actually wondering the same thing. I was concerned, because in reading the thread for the class of 2010, there was a lot of discussion of who the prospective students' favorite designers were. It would never have occurred to my daughter even to have a favorite designer, much less to mention him or her among her top interests.</p>
<p>nceph, I don't think you ever need to worry about the kids on these boards, especially the kids who haven't yet been accepted, being representative of the Brown student body. I have a lot of friends, some who put effort into their clothing and some who didn't care, but I never had ONE conversation this year about clothing or designers or anything. Its a personal choice and no one at Brown really cares. Certainly they won't judge you for it (plus they have bigger things to worry about...academics,partying, paying for college)</p>
<p>these kinds of threads just make me gag</p>
