Depends entirely on you what kind of impression you want to leave for interviewers about yourself and your attitude towards this interview.
Always wear a suit to an interview.
wear them Jordans and tell them who you are :colonhash:
Jordans and Bball shorts and jersey.

Well you will stand out then, which is exactly what you want in an interview.

Obviously a good one, but i don't want to be the odd one out wearing a suit because i would find that sooooo awkward!

Not really, it's an interview for a university course..
If you're questioning whether it's appropriate, it's most likely not....

Only if it's a formal interview. For informal ones, most just wear smart casual clothing.

So even more of a reason to stand out. There will be hundreds of applicants.

Every "informal" interview I have had were pretty formal. As a rule of thumb it stands pretty solid.

I could also argue that all my informal interview no-one wore a suit.
Wearing a suit to a uni interview is a bit odd

How many people were in your informal interviews?

4, and some of my friends had the same interview at a different days. This was only at one interview, the others I asked people what they worn beforehand.

It generally depends on the place, but its much safer to wear a suit if you have no clue.

Yeah but i also questioned weather a suit was, so i have no idea what to wear as i have nothing. I only have a suit because of my school, the normal for me is just super casual.

I'm not sure if i'll be standing out in the right kind of way though. :/
