Ok, college students dressing up for class? First, I've never heard of that, second, why? I don't understand why people feel it necessary to dress up for classes. At Shepherd, we did the same thing as Dewgirl, we hit the alarm clock rolled out of bed, put on our out of date glasses instead of putting in our contacts, pulled our hair back in a pony tail, threw on 2 pair of sweats, a t-shirt and sweatshirt, got our big bulky ski coat and some earmuffs and headed to class--still half asleep. If you saw someone in class before noon with their hair brushed it was a phenominon (sp?)!!!!!! Sure, it is West Virginia, but we are only an hour and a half from DC and not even that far from the Virginia border, and you could throw a rock and hit Maryland.
I just don't see the point. Neither did the students I attended college with. We used to joke that if someone was dressed up before noon, they were freshmen that wouldn't survive because they were too busy trying to look good instead of studying for class. The night time was the only time to dress up--and only thurs. thru sat. Dressing up didn't consist of a label either. Nobody cared who you were wearing. Everyone wore jeans and a nice top when they went out--and that was dressing up. Some girls wore the black pants with a pastel top, some guys wore kaki's, but pretty much everyone wore jeans. We had one bar in town, everyone went there, I was a bartender there, so I always wore jeans, a nice top--almost always black, and boots. That is about the extent of 'dressing up' where I went to school.
