Uniforms promote social equality among students. I’m sure most Thai university students never think about different social classes among their peers. Inequality never crosses your mind even if one of your classmates drives a BMW to campus or is dropped off by the family chauffer in a Benz S-class series, and you take a non-aircon bus. It doesn’t matter that your girlfriend wears Prada and a Gucci watch and you are adorned with a Jansport backpack. We are truly equal in our uniforms. And when you see students from other supposedly lesser universities, you never look down on them for not having enough brains to get into your university. You cannot help feeling the camaraderie from sharing the status that comes with the uniforms.
