<p>My son is a freshman from Long Island. He went to Bama in gym shorts, basketball sneakers, and t-shirts, and came home a month later in boat shoes, button downs, and khaki pants. Shorts now are never cargo, gym shorts and sneakers are for the gym, and a t-shirt always has a pocket and a Ralph Lauren Polo emblem. Granted he is in a fraternity, but the change is great!</p>
