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.
replyYeah, I skipped mine too. I was not (and am not) at all proud of my box-checking degrees.
replyI 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
replyI 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.
replyYou can just not participate in the ceremony and then you don’t have to spend any extra money at all.
