Normally I travel in jeans, but instead wore some nicer pants that I teach in. <BR/><BR/>R, thanks so much for the links. I read, read, read before I left!

I have only been on the one campus visit, but since I was (alas) going to a more business-oriented school, I figured I'd better be on the safe side and wear my suit. I was glad I did, as the school was a *lot* more formal than my grad or undergrad, and it helped me blend right in. But that's only because of the type of institution it was. I'd let that help guide your clothing choices--I suspect that business casual would indeed be appropriate for most places.<BR/><BR/>I was trolling the interwebs for info before the visit, so if you're interested, you can take a look at some of the links I saved <A HREF="http://delicious.com/larkylark/campusvisit" REL="nofollow">here</A> (mostly from the Chronicle forums, IIRC).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399701802496487396.post-71133671038979207742009-01-24T20:38:00.000-05:002009-01-24T20:38:00.000-05:00I'm with 4eyes: Unless you are being taken direct...I'm with 4eyes: Unless you are being taken directly to an interview, then go with business casual -- maybe not khakis unless they are the kind that don't crease badly after sitting for a few hours. You don't want the person picking you up to get the impression that you're too casual, but there's no reason to be in a suit, either. Good luck with the interview, and I'm so sorry to hear about AL's layoff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399701802496487396.post-83043071134822856832009-01-24T19:26:00.000-05:002009-01-24T19:26:00.000-05:00Re: what to wear on the plane.

Unless I was specifically told, "don't worry about dressing up for the flight; wear whatever is comfortable for you," I wore sort of business casual--khakis or slacks and a nice-ish shirt. Sunnyville U's people actually did say to me almost exactly what I wrote above, so I did wear jeans for a cross country flight. <BR/><BR/>If you have interview stuff soon after you land and you're not sure if you'll have time to change, then def dress up.dr four eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178140600448106706noreply@blogger.com
