South University has a professional dress code.. and they were still abiding by it in January when I went for my interview. I even noticed and ASKED about the dress of the students. I have a ton of jeans etc that represent my undergrad style.. guess I have to go shopping too. I've been thinking about this new dress code thing lately too. I didn't know that they made ''comfortable'' dress shoes... ?? hmm........
😕
Hey here is a copy of what South's dress code is "described" as.. I'm not sure how strict it truly is.
