Academic dress

You'll need a gown for matriculation. Not sure whether you can wear your Oxford one though?

are the gowns only for post grads?

They don't look enough alike - you'll have to get a proper BA gown. They're about £50 second hand.

I ask because at Oxford, any person who is a graduates of another university may wear the academic dress of their university on any formal university occasion. But I suppose I would look rather silly at Cambridge in full subfusc.

Are there different gowns for different occasions? Or just a standard one?

How often do we need to wear academic dress at Oxford? I'm joining the Dark Side in October!

Full subfusc is just for matriculation and exams. Sometimes you just wear a gown over regular clothes (formal halls, other official-type-things etc...)

Saw a few people in military uniform during finals. Chumps.

hmm this is in the cambridge board....so is it the same or different for cam?

A bit off topic, but I was quite amused by rows and rows of people staying in uniform during exams. It was absolutely sweltering, but only a few would take off their gowns or jackets or loosen their ties. Funny how institutionalised people can become.
