<p>I saw this in another forum, but would Dartmouth students have events that require tuxedos(black tie events)?</p>
<p>My D went through 4 years of formals at Dartmouth (currently in Hanover for Green Key this weekend) and she has never had a date that wore a tux. She said formals for guys were so much easier, pants, tie and a jacket.</p>
<p>Oh. Well, say I wanted to wear a tux. Will there be ample opportunities to do so or would I seem pretentious?</p>
<p>monroylobo,</p>
<p>at SOME time during college, you’ll have an opportunity where you’ll need/want a tux. Esp. if you’re in band/orchestra that does concerts, if you want to go to formals, etc. I’m not a student at Dmouth yet but I think it’s just general truth that a male will have an occasion to wear a tux at least once during the span of 4 years, all throughout life. :)</p>
<p>besides – guys in tuxes are freakin’ hot. ;)</p>
<p>You should definitely bring a tux (only if you own one), but not for the reasons you might expect. You would surely look out of place wearing a tux at more ‘serious’ events like formals, but a tuxedo would make for awesome flair, a sick halloween costume, and it could be used for other themed parties (like tackies== everybody dresses in tacky clothing, with knee-high socks, underwear outside their pants, suspenders, crazy glasses… etc).</p>
<p>Fortunately, or unfortunately, Dartmouth students don’t ever wear really fancy things unless they are purposely mocking themselves by their clothing choices.</p>
<p>A tuxedo would be out of place at formals? That’s odd. Anyways, thanks for the advice.</p>
<p>Yes. A tuxedo would look out of place at formals. You would look ridiculous. It’s not prom.</p>
<p>Maybe they wear tuxedos this more in the South?? They don’t wear them in New England.</p>
<p>dont be an idiot…youd get knocked out for being a tool</p>
<p>everyone would hate you</p>
<p>I was just looking for advice from people who actually go or have gone to the school. There’s no need for the harsh words. Some colleges I’ve seen have more events that are black tie so I was wondering if perhaps Dartmouth was the same. Your rudeness is not appreciated.</p>
<p>Agree. Some people are tools. Luckily, they don’t go to Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Vincere was right, I go to Dart and most people would hate you if you wore a tux to a formal at Dartmouth (but you would likely not be invited in the first place)…also he’s correct a decent amount of the time you would get knocked out.</p>
<p>Not trying to be another harsh critic, just telling it like it is</p>
