Thanks for the suggestions! Emailing the employer is a good idea; I’ll do that. My college is paying for housing, travel, and most other expenses, in addition to a $1,000 stipend and the $1,000 I’ve earned working, so my idea was to buy a few really nice but versatile items now that I can keep throughout college (especially since I managed to avoid the freshman fifteen and have worn the same size since ninth grade). I’ll definitely have to check if it’s business casual or more formal, though. Thanks again!

(And yes, I spent six years in Washington, so I’m quite familiar with the climate… it’s probably what I’m least looking forward to about the experience. :eek:)
