Re: What color are your school uniforms?
My school requires navy blue scrub tops and bottoms from Dickies, with a patch of the school seal on the left sleeve. They don't care which style, just so long as they're the same color. They've even let scrubs from other manufacturers slide, so long as they're navy blue.
Lab coats have to be white and knee-length, again with the school seal patch sewn onto the left sleeve at the shoulder.
Shoes are supposed to be all white, but that gets overlooked as long as they're mostly white and clean.
During our psych rotation we are specifically told not to wear the scrub uniform. For psych, community, and some volunteering locations, we wear business casual, which for guys usually means a polo or button-down shirt and slacks.
I'm in a Master's Entry program, by the way.
As an editorial comment, the general trend seems to be the farther down the academic pecking order one's program is, the more old-school/uptight they are about the uniform. Then again, with first-time students a lot more has to be drilled into their heads along the lines of proper behavior and dress as opposed to people who've been through college once and held down a job...
