- College residence t-shirts are not to be worn in public. Nobody cares that you did enough extracurricular activities to get into Arana. Leave those awkwardly fitted t-shirts, along with your school leaver’s hoodie, for all of the lazy, hungover Sundays.
- Dunedin is not the Coromandel. The average Dunedin temperature in winter is 7.2 degrees Celsius and no amount of attention from the opposite sex is worth hypothermia-induced loss of limbs. Note to first year girls: wearing a puffer jacket with your short shorts is not a clever compromise.
- Speaking of puffer jackets, all puffer jackets are offensive. Never forget that the puffer jacket was derived from the concept of a sleeping bag, so unless you are a geography student on an overnight field trip, put it away.
- Wearing sports gear to Uni is an art form. “Sporty Casual” does not mean sweaty foreheads and muddy league shorts. Rugby jerseys are for rugby games and one must always remember that unless your gym shoes are Nike 5.0s, they should not come within several blocks of campus.
- Head-to-toe Karen Walker is disturbing. Not even K-dubs herself would condone such antics. One or two items are more than sufficient to let everybody know you’re from Remuera.
- University has no uniform , therefore an effort must be made every time you grace this glorious campus. As Oscar Wilde said, “you can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
