A college with a dress code...
This actually isn't one of the strangest colleges I have heard of...if you want to be a little freaked out (well, more than a little) check out Bob Jones University: http://www.bju.edu/academics/ although they were better when they were completley unaccredited - because they wanted it that way. Right...

To each their own, the really scary part to me is that anyone would attend these schools. I am a firm believer that a dress code does nothing but teach a person how to be a follower. Some of the smartest most successful people I know don't give a damn about what they wear and how they look, they are too focused on their task at hand (be it school, work, or otherwise)....oh well, just my 2 cents worth
oh Paul, that was wonderful. I agree, private institutions can indeed enforce a dress code. I just think that by the time you get to college you'd want to control at least a tiny part of your own life. And you are also right in saying that it isn't like BJU has a very intensive curriculum and the students work so hard and are so prestigeous when they are done that they don't care about the dress code - like if Harvard suddenly had a dress code.
I went to a private, religious university for my BA - but I went to a Jesuit school and their entire mission is focused on education and understanding - and not just of your own culture (and their is certainly no dress code). But that is because the jesuits are the liberals of the bunch. I may not be Catholic, but you have got to love them! We had a priest at our school who was arrested (probably more than once) for protesting the war. I mean, how does a police officer arrest a priest who is engaged in peaceful demonstration? That's gotta make him worry a little bit. Okay, gotten totally off track, must go to work...
