As Marie55 said, local bylaw states that three students wearing their gowns and walking together have right of way over other forms of traffic, and as has been mentioned above, you are technically not meant to be served in a public house if wearing your gown. The traffic thing I've tried with two other begowned students, and we were nearly mown down by a speeding Bay Hotel shuttle bus!

However, few universities (in fact, we may be the only UK one) still have "everyday" undergrad gowns

- On visiting days when working as an Ambassador (around 40% of Wednesdays during term time - gown must be worn)

Anyone know what us Americans who graduated from undergrad schools here in the States are using for postgrad gowns at St. Andrews?
Our undergrad gowns here are... erm... polyester. And very very cheap. Not really intended for wear more than once since they tend to unravel and look horrid. About 80% of the unis here use the same gown for graduation (since that's the only time we wear them). Sometimes just different colors. But the same exact cut and seemingly second-hand material.
