After reading through all of these replies I have only one thing to add.

If you are looking to work in civil rights or law this is a perfect project to pad your resume with and put on a college application.

If, however, you are going into something like medicine or the auto mechanics industry then I would have my lovely tux slacks made from some random yet tasteful plaid and enjoy your prom.

Congrats on the making it through 4 years, BTW. It is an accomplishment.
