Dress Code for students at Paul Quinn College

[nikki1920]

I dont know about a daily dress code for classes. I dressed up when I had to give a presentation, but that's it. If you don't know to wear a suit for an interview, then that is lack of home training. I agree that it is not the colleges' responsibility to teach common sense. I attended a PWI and an HBCU. The dress code was WAY relaxed at the PWI (full pajamas, cut offs, etc) and was not as casual at the HBCU (jeans, t shirts). I was taught in middle school that you dress up when you have a performance (former band member!! whoo hoo) or a presentation to make before the class. All that money that I borrowed or my parents are paying; I should be able to wear what I want to. And you do have students who may not be able to afford business casual clothes that need to be worn 180 days of the year. I did see the clothing drive they had for the students, but still. I just think that's a bit extreme.
