Fashion SENSE
Nowadays, it is very common for students to show off their so-called 'wealth' in the university. They go to school in their best clothes and branded shoes. Hence, the campus has become a place of fashion statement more than anything. Many have forgotten that the university is really a place for us to pursue tertiary education.
Have you ever considered why it is a must for primary and secondary students to wear uniform? I suppose it is because they want to minimize class conflict. By generalizing all the students by making them to wear uniforms it makes the wealthy and the less privileged less distinguishable. They understand that the school is primarily a place to learn.
Now, why is it the university allows their students to wear their day-to-day clothes? It is because university students are regarded as adults and hence they can act responsibly. Does this change the fact that the university is still a place to study? The answer is no. Regardless, many go to campus today with the intention of showing off. They wear their best threads only to look good in front of their friends. However, the university is not the place or time to do that. What it does is only creating different classes, the wealthy and the less privileged. It is no mystery why some students are alienated because they are not considered ‘well-off’.
I personally believe that you have to look presentable and acceptable. Of course different places have different definitions of ‘presentable and acceptable’ attire. For example, many regard students who wear their clubbing-clothes to school are frown upon. As an adult we should have the ability to categorize our clothes so that we do not be ignorant and create unnecessary classes, or worse attract the wrong attention.
I believe it is okay to wear your best clothes to school only and only if you do it in the spirit of looking presentable and not to show off. It’s true we should wear ‘what we want when we feel like it’. It is important to be true to ourselves. However EVERYTHING has the time and place for it. After all, one distinction that differentiates between a child and an adult is their decision making.

hahaha..I agree with peter podcast. Sometimes, for me, it gets confusing to select what to wear, and at times I miss HS because of its uniforms.
In regards to fashion SENSE at university, I remember a conversation I had with a friend who said something along the lines of "this life is borrowed. It is not eternal, so what we have now is not forever."
It makes me think that our place on earth is temporary and that everything in it is also temporary as it can all disappear with a click of a finger.
So I think fashion is also temporary aswell as I believe that there are greater things to think about in life.

totally a gree school is supposed to be a place to learn not a fashion circus, shame alienated masses do not distinguish that and distract their attention towards superficial impositions.

when I was a middle school student, we were allowed to wear normal clothes on every Saturday. At first, it seemed it was hailed but a few weeks later students' parents made a lot of complaints about it. Finally, 2 month later, since it started, it was abolished. kkk

You know i have to admit! During High School i was a little pre-judgmental of people by the cloths they wore when we were allowed to come in non-uniform... However, as i grew, as my class grew we became more of a family than anything else... and from that i stopped seeing people any different than from what they were (interm of class). What im basically trying to say is... if your class treats you like a family rather than just another person doing there subject than there shouldnt be any need for class conflict! Nor should there be a reason to judge!
