What constitutes as overdressing on an average university/college campus? New to trying to be effay

Look around you. See other students and see your professors. If something makes you think, "this looks like something my professor would wear," and not, "this looks like something I saw other students wearing," then it's too much.
This can vary by campus, but generally, more casual is better.

wear whatever the fuck you want. but if you feel uncomfortable wearing something than you probably shouldn't be wearing it

Is tucking in shirts a definite no then? I see some kids doing it, some don't.

Not dress shirts, but I have some utility shirts that seem to go nice with the rest of my outfit when tucked.

I knew Jack Kerouac was of Quebecois origin, but seing this picture of him young, it's just so obvious it's ridiculous. Looks exactly like what you'd get by breeding a squared jawed coureur de bois and a squaw.

Too bad his writing sucked and inspired a generation of douchebags the west is only just starting to reject in the past decade

it's a pretty broad spectrum depending. highly dependent on your faculty (!!). my exp in South Africa: business dress bro, humanities vary from basement troll to preppy, engineers dress like they don't see outside.
I'd say beyond semi-formal (no blazer either) is overdressing. mostly i went for minimal but on the dressier side of casual.

Tucking in a shirt is fine.

I'd say avoid a full suit or dress pants. The kids who dress in suits at uni are almost always spastic try hard business students.

Don't even go for a blazer
Assuming you just want to go between classes or to the library on campus, you don't need to be #menswear when half the people around you have sweatpants and hoodies on
