[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain to me when dressing nicely became a negative? The UVA stereotype is not true but imagining if it was... why is that a problem? OP, is your kid a slob? Does she dress slovenly on purpose or for some other reason? As a parent, do you not explain that professionals and self-respecting people do their best to purport themselves in a manner that exhibits confidence? So called "preppy" clothes aren't necessarily expensive so what's the issue?[/quote] In academic environments, it is seen as a negative to seem obsessed with one's physical appearances, including clothing and consumable goods. That is (just one) reason people criticize the greek life at UVA - the ranking tiers that are formulated most shallow to less shallow. Other college environments tend to shun the more shallow, in favor of the more cerebral. [/quote]
