#22If you go to a bigger school, they have multiple graduation ceremonies. Split the rental amongst anyone who does not share a time slot with you. That’s what I did and people acted like this was a genius move. No, I am just broke.
I just did online school and didn't bother showing up to any kind of ceremony. I was 30 when I finally finished school, I didn't really feel the need to prove anything.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
I skipped the graduation ceremonies for my BA and my first master’s degree. For my second, apparently the cost of a cap, gown and hood was included in the tuition so I have academic regalia sitting in a box somewhere should I ever find myself in need of such, a scenario I cannot imagine ever coming to pass.
Yeah, I skipped mine too. I was not (and am not) at all proud of my box-checking degrees. I had a blast in undergrad, not at all because of the classes.
Same here, walking across the stage in a dress is for the school, not for you. Got my paper, bye

#26I am pretty sure I purchased my cap and gown instead of renting. But my college was a bit smaller.
Wouldn't the purchase option be priced at a multiple to the rental?
OP paid $94 to rent their gown. I'm pretty sure I paid less than that (if not a comparable price) to buy mine. Thank god it wasn't multiple more, I only wore it for 5 minutes for a picture, since I graduated during Covid.

Yeah, there was no option to rent at my school. I purchased those things, not that I'll ever use them again.

At my school, I purchased my cap but rented the gown. The cap is in a box never to be looked at again. I can't imagine what I would do with the gown.

#29> So you do need to shell out to rent them. And they don’t give you the option to buy the cap and gown outright. You can't buy them from a 3rd party? Maybe a cheap Spirit Halloween costume? Maybe even make your own from cardboard and a black napkin or two?
Then you probably won't match the rest of the class.

#30If Rust could create the girlfriend I still do not have, I think I would have learned Rust by now.
There is a joke around ownership or borrowing that I'm going to take the high road and not make.
