how much are your graduation gowns costing?

i received my graduation pack this morning, and was dreading the cost of gown hire - i'd heard horror stories!

so i was pleasantly surprised to discover that the hire of my gown, cap and silks is less than £40, and to keep them for an extra week only costs a tenner(which will probably be necessary as my ceremony isnt until 5pm - what a stupid time! hows a girl supposed to get photos done :confused: ).

official photography was also cheaper than anticpated, starting at £26. wont be shelling out the £30 odd quid for a dvd of my 3 seconds on stage though!

    Pretty much the same costs for mine :)

    Tickets for the event are £12 each though, which is a bit of a ripoff for what actually happens! :rotfl:

    I also won't be opting for the cheesy DVD at £35! :eek:

    When I graduated everyone in my house was conveniently graduating on a different day spread over a week, so we hired one gown between us for the whole week and it only cost us a tenner.
