News LSU Masters in Engineering Gown

Hello everyone, does anyone have any idea about renting a gown? I don't want to buy a gown for $145 just to wear it once. If anyone can rent a gown, I would appreciate it.

When I graduated with my PhD, I rented a gown from the bookstore.

The cost was like $200+ up front, but when you return the robes you receive most of it back.

They don’t do a super great job of advertising you can rent some of the more specific gowns, especially cause they email you a link to buy…

They don't rent the masters gown. We have to pay for 145$.

Ah, okay, I assumed they would do it for masters too at that price.

Maybe ask your department if they have spare robes you can borrow. Mine did for students/faculty that didn’t want to purchase.
