Does anyone have an idea of what dress code will be like at ASW this weekend? I didn't see anything on the website.

I talked to a current student and she said business casual.

Including the events on Thursday?

I wasn't aware there was any "dress code." There may be a way most people dress but I do not think there is anything, within reason, that will be that inappropriate. Personally, I was thinking jeans and a polo if I was really feeling like high society. Maybe I'm wrong.

Business Casual throughout is probably the safe bet. I'd rather be the only on in a tie than the only one in sneakers.

Yeah she said it's fairly casual, some people wore jeans, but the vast majority were at least on the more professional side of the business casual spectrum since faculty are still around.

I'm going with a button down and nice pair of jeans or, alternatively, this bad boy:

So would jeans and a sweater be too casual?

My impression was yes, she said black jeans would probably be okay

Does any one know if there's anything approximating a dress code for ASW? Is it mostly a business casual thing? Any different for UVA?

Scroll up three posts. Or don't. I'm sure someone will be along to answer this again.

Anyone attending the ASW this weekend that would be interested in splitting the costs of a hotel room? 22 year old guy here (trying to not spend a ton of $$$).

Sooo based on what I've read these past two pages, I have to dress nice at ASW AND there is no chance I will be able convince FA to give me aid? I am really regretting booking/paying for my hotel before awards went out.. I hope that BBQ they are having is hella tight or this was all really a waste of time.

Well, I'm sure they're not going to kick you out if you're wearing jeans. And if it's a waste of time for you, then you might as well be comfortable as you're stuffing your face with BBQ IMO. Lol

^This. Also, how do we schedule individual meetings with financial aid?

why would you wear business casual to an ASW?

Just out of respect for the school and to show that you're taking it seriously, since you'll be meeting with profs and admins. Also to make a good impression.

[GreekOmega12]

Wonder how many people are going to come full suit and tie

Daisy dukes were Mr. Jefferson's pants of choice...

I personally prefer to err on the side of overdressed - I'd much rather be the only person in a button down than the only person in shorts and flip flops. But that's just for me, if you'll be comfortable without dressing up at all, go for it. They're not going to rescind your admission.

I'm betting 5 (excluding faculty). Any other guesses?

Anyone else flying in from NYC? I wasn't sure I was going to be free with work so I wasn't able to book my flight yet, curious what rates the rest of you have gotten.

I'm taking Amtrak and it was pretty cheap ($136 round trip), though there is only one train each day so you don't have a lot of options on times. Not sure how many tickets are still available.

Also taking Amtrak in from NYC. When I booked, there were a good number of trains, but the times weren't great. It came down to either taking a train down Wednesday afternoon after the NYC alumni reception or flying in Thursday morning. Amtrak was cheaper.
