one thing i would never wear when i go to uni would me my yr 12 jersey!
I'm with you, although heaps of people in my course wore their year 12 jersey to UNI when I was in first year. In 2nd year most of them went away...
Seriously, UNI is no fashion show, and those who treat it as one have a bigger chance of getting mocked that those who dress sensibly. However, I'd dress somewhat respectfully (ie-not a dirty old t-shirt, thongs, and track pant with a hole in the arse.) I must say that surf brands are all the rave, but this isn't highschool, and no one really cares that much what label you're wearing. If you wear a pair of jeans/shorts/a skirt and a nice top, you will blend in nicely. I also stress the importance of comfy shoes, as you're walking around all day.
No one will bag you out if you're caught wearing the same clothes from week to week, so long as you don't stink or take it to an extreme...there is something strange about someone who wears the exact same outfit day in day out, even if they do seem clean (ala, Jerrys girlfriend in Seinfeld). Mix it up a little, but you don't need to rush out and buy a whole new wardrobe.
