BU is a school that is more difficult to adjust to than other colleges for most students — but that’s okay. Navigating the unconventional nature of a city school is bound to teach you various life lessons that a traditional college may not. It can be stressful, lonely and confusing at times, but also incredibly rewarding and exciting if you accept the challenge.

Ultimately, it’s not a fashion competition at BU, but — understandably — no one wants to look the worst. Some people plan their outfits the night before, while others still just throw on the first thing they see. Perhaps that’s how denim jeans have become the middle-ground staple in many outfits. They are relatively comfortable, and they can be dressed up or down easily.
