A college internship sometimes meaning putting on a uniform. For some students, it's the first ever experience of buying and wearing prescribed clothing.
If the site requires uniforms, you don't have a choice but to conform. Still, you can ask these questions to minimize your cost and inconvenience:
1 - Is there funding for the uniform so that I don't have to spend my own money?
2 - If I have to buy the uniform, can I ask around for a used uniform from an employee?
3 - Can I wear my choice of shoes and accessories?
The internship supervisor or mentor may have good suggestions for making your uniform inexpensive. Just ask!
