For college we rented them. I'm pretty sure the credit card on file just got charged a purchase price if you didn't return it.

For high school the girls wore white dresses and the guys wore khakis and blue blazers so we had to buy our clothes for graduation.

I think my parents paid for them.

We had a "dress code" for graduation, too. My high school was public. Girls had to wear white dresses to go under their white gowns. Guys had to wear khaki pants and white shirts. I think the guys wore black gowns.

Rent them?! We bought ours & had to wear white dresses underneath. This was the late 90's.

No dress code/robes at my hs. If I remember right, my college gave us our grad robes. I just found out that for my phd program, it costs almost $900 to buy the whole outfit!

Yes, in highschool, but I don't remember for college. In either event, they were the flimsy material that would practically combust!

I had rent HS and we bought college

We had to buy ours for HS and college.

No, they were provided by the school. They were dusty old things that the school reused every year lol.

I wish they provided them, but no, we had to buy them. They were expensive, especially DH's master's robes!

We had to pay a rental fee, but it was something minimal like $30. We kept the hat/tassel.

IIRC, we didn't have them for high school. For university they were rented.

I have had 4 graduations , and never had a cap . I was always given the gown for free (for the day)

@snowjewelz: I remember b/c my nephews and nieces put on our high school robes for dress up, and I remember the stress of having to return our robes on college graduation day by a certain time or else!

Can't remember about high school but I borrowed my friend's gown for college....her ceremony was the day before mine!
