    Dress comfy! seriously, I wouldnt worry too much, don't go trying too hard be a "trendy" mature student, just dress in what you feel most comfy in..my wardrobe for college this year consists of mainly jeans, comfy cardis, layers (can get hot and cold going from lecture to lecture) and comfy shoes and a good pair of boots.
    Dont be too smart dresses because youre really only gonna be sitting taking notes etc so be comfortable. Good luck!

    Great advice thanks.
    I dressed casually and fitted right in!
    although I didn't open my mouth all day - very unusual for me, I'm used to being the one in charge. It was so relaxing just sitting listening for a change.

    I got homework though! what a shocker.:eek:
