Dress Code for College Visits?

I just keep seeing in my mind our campus visit/tour at MIT. A large group of Asian students came to the presentation with their chaperone–no parents. They had been to Harvard that morning and 10 of the 30 of them were wearing Harvard sweatshirts. That’s probably not the best choice, especially if you plan to sleep through the presentation as many of them did!

We also ended up getting an inpromptu one-on-one with an admissions counselor or honors college rep on two of our trips. I was glad that our son had on clean jeans and an Old Navy sweater over a t-shirt for those.
