I'm flying out to do some REU work at a university and wondering what to pack. Is dress generally just normal day clothes, collared shirts, what? Right now I'm packing normal clothes and a couple formal outfits for presentations and the like, just wondering what you people have done in the past.

The work would be in a lab, no alligator hunting or anything like that.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (or REUs) are competitive summer research programs in the United States for undergraduates studying science, engineering, or mathematics. Such programs usually focus on targeting women and underrepresented minorities (African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans). The programs are sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and are hosted in various universities. They are among the most prestigious summer programs that an undergraduate can participate in. Individual REUs tend to be specialized in a particular field of science. There are REUs in many scientific fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science.

depends on the job

I mean, when I did mine at Cornell they didn't care that much what I was wearing (except for closed-toed shoes, long pants and a shirt) under my bunny suit

I wore polos with jeans and such, I never went really formal until the final NNIN/CNF presentation in Pennsylvania
