all i had with me was a pen. as you start your one-on-one interviews, you'll be given a lot of papers explaining research, recently published papers of the profs, and so on. you won't have enough time in between to surf the net on your laptop. so, go lightweight. carrying a bag to put all the handouts in might be a smart idea. some people also like to carry a notebook so that they can jot down the highlights of the interviews later. but i think you can store em in your head easily. do carry a water bottle.. you WILL get thirsty after all those meetings for that many hours.
Thank you. Seems like I have a lot of reading to do. I'll just bring my empty laptop bag or something.

Makeup on women in this culture, for example, is designed to increase the appearance of youth and sexual availability or arousal. So why is that presenting them the way they want to be perceived? Maybe the purpose is not to be decorative but to, you know, learn.
I wasn't talking about makeup per se. I was talking more about the whole image.
Yes learning is pretty important in school (no kidding?), but I feel as grad students, you are representing the school or at the very least, you are a "product" of the school. For my undergrad, I had company representatives and investors just drop by randomly to see our progress on the project that they were paying us to do. We might have gave our professor a bad image if we were not dressed decently and his funding/grants may be reduce or even cut.

If you were out looking for dates, your preferences about the feminine countenance would matter, but the non-makeup-wearing female members of your cohort will just have to do without your tender attentions I suppose. What a shame for them. I am curious, since you don't mention it - what are your requirements for the dress of men? I trust they are just as exacting, or that men do a better job of following them since you don't include them as members of the school who don't care about appearances.
My requirements? The point I was trying to make was that people should dress for the "job" and present themselves as how they want to be perceived.

I don't like girls with heavy and overdone make up, if that is what you are wondering, but I do like it when a girl actually cares enough about her appearance to dress up and try to make herself look presentable (some of the people at my school don't seem to care). The jewelry might be over doing it, especially for school.

Perhaps ironically, I am often teased by profs because I am the most dressed up person in our entire dept. Even on jeans days I'm usually wearing lots of jewelry and curl my hair and I never go to campus without make up. (What can I say? When I was 13 I wanted to be a fashion designer.lol)
I wish the girls I meet in the coming fall would be like you...

I dress decently when I go to school so I honestly don't see what's the big deal and why some people make it a chore. I seem to get more respect from my peers, professors and definitely get more attention from the ladies.

I'm pretty firm w/ Columbia even though I still haven't heard from 4 schools. I'll be entering Columbia SEAS.

What are we expected to bring? Portfolio, laptop, notebook, backpack?
As for dress, I'm just going to wear some slacks, dress shirt, sweater, coat. No suit jacket, vest or tie. Dress shoes, of course.

Why do you guys want a PhD? I haven't even started my program yet, but I am constantly being asked why I want to have a PhD. I honestly cannot answer that, other than I want a good job, but I don't think I want to go into academia. There have been numerous articles and threads about why doing a PhD is a waste of time and you're screwing yourself over, unless you want to be a lifetime post doct. Please advise.

Anyone going to the visitation day on April 1-2?

What are some good and cheap, but still safe hotels close to Columbia? Also what is a good place to eat near campus?
Do professors care if you wear sweatpants all the time?
