$1000?
*walks away stammering* Definitely not DS! Maybe we should start out at Saver's or Goodwill... We were thinking less than $200.. Nope, he doesn't need it for a frat - no frats at Rice. But sometimes there are formal events - like the "Passport to Houston" events that Rice has. The kids have free public transit/light rail passes, and get free or heavily subsidized tickets to the opera, orchestra, ballet, or other events. Not the type of thing he would seek out on his own, but if a bunch of kids were going, he might be interested. He was thinking ahead to job interviews or internship interviews, (which often happen between freshman and soph year for the engineering majors) - and he was saying "black"... but from the sounds of it here, black may not be a good color? Gray? Navy? What do kids wear to internship interviews? I think the kids got fancy dressed up for the Opera, so I jokingly suggested he buy a used tux???? (He decided not to go to the prom, so he's never worn a tux, either...)
