Let him have it. If he was your underage son, that would be different.
I've never heard of a college or university forbidding cords and stoles. The graduation coordinators probably didn't care for the school's restriction and didn't mind your friend's stole. If it had been something more ridiculous, like someone else's honors regalia, they probably would've caught it (a lot of schools of various sizes highlight the honors students during the program along with a corresponding name and number for each graduate).[/QUOTE]
That's just it, though...I will be moving with him. We are planning on getting engaged/ married and I don't want to move to some place that is so far away or that I hate. In fact, he told me that until I started working again, this summer, I should check out other schools with great programs in what he wants. He works stupid/crazy hours at the hospital and he is currently studying up for the GRE. There isn't anything wrong with asking for my help. In fact, I enjoy doing it. I respect a lot of the people on here and I'm sure they would have some great advice to give regarding grad schools. if you have any advice-please share.
Nope, they were jerks about it. That really surprised me. I wish I would have just not listened and worn my gear. Maybe it has since changed. I hope it has for the sake of the newer classes graduating.
