Hahaha. I don't think anyone cared for our class. Definitely had classmates show up in sweatpants and t shirts
Yeah I was floored when I heard it too. Really? You want me to dress up just to sit in a dark lecture hall for 8 hours a day?
The argument that our school had was that "what about if a owner or a scholarship-giver comes over to get coffee from the teaching hospital and sees you all unprofessional?" At least that what they told us haha. That being said, our dress code is relatively laid back -> just no flip-flops, short-shorts, athletic wear, sweats, or T-shirts that aren't vet med/Mizzou related during school hours. So jeans + hoodie or jeans +T-shirt are just fine.
So my collection of geeky t-shirts would go unworn. Not good. 😛
I have the same problem! Though anytime there's a group function outside of school a lot of my friend group wears our nerd shirts then so we make up for it. 😛
choose things that are stain resist or easy to wash. You don't want to wear something like a cashmere sweater and get anal sac juice squirted on you.
I completely agree. I guess they are trying to discourage the popular undergrad trend of leggings and a t-shirt, or short-shorts? Because overall it's not a very strict dress code, and at least for me I am wearing what I would wear (Jeans +T-shirt/blouse) even without a dress code.
There was a dress code, but it only applied to LIS.
It's "business casual" but basically means no sweats/t-shirts/tennis shoes/hoodies. I wear jeans, a polo, and danskos most days. Some people wear skirts and heels. Scrubs/white coat for labs except bovine/equine it's coveralls. It's really not that bad because jeans are comfy for lecture 🙂
I don't know, I've never seen it written anywhere. But then the classrooms are always so cold I can't imagine wearing nothing (or even anything shorter than long pants and sleeves) 😉
Don't knock it until you've tried it!
In case anyone is interested...
My personal hell.
Well the official rule is that there needs to be hardware (buttons/zipper)... but if you have a shirt that goes over that stuff anyways... most people wouldn't be able to tell/care. 😛
business casual (like nice slacks and a nice shirt) with my lab coat or scrubs. If they are nice jeans, I say why not. But my jeans are no longer nice jeans.
My standard is nice shoes (Clark's flats), jeans, a blouse/dressy top of some sort*, and a white lab coat. If I'm about to do something messy (laceration, parvo puppy, etc) I'll ditch the lab coat and throw on a scrub top. I'll also do jeans and scrub top if I'm in on emergency after hours. On large animal calls, jeans, polo and steel toe boots. I usually avoid necklaces, bracelets, rings, but I do wear earrings ranging from simple studs to these. Make up is pretty minimal because I can't be bothered. Nose piercing hasn't been an issue yet, even when I wear a hoop in it. . The practice owner (female) wears polos, jeans, lab coats and sneakers. The other younger doctor (male) wears polos and slacks, the older doctor (female) wears blouses, slacks and lab coat. And the other older doctor (male) wears scrubs, usually mismatched and often ripped. He gets made fun of a lot, but no one actually makes him change.
Can totally understand...and the bolded part is why I always just threw on the nearest pair of older/not-so-nice shorts and shirt whenever I had to wake up super early for an exam or work something 😛 Shorts > pants, though of course I was in a warm climate!
Shorts are only wearable here during non-school months, and even then they keep the AC blasting so much that the lecture halls are typically cold.
oh god. I think it's a right of passage to freeze your face off as a first year. The third floor where their lab and lecture hall is, is a freaking tundra. I took to wearing a blanket in class often.
