Wearing Lolita in graduate school

Next year I will begin graduate school, and I am debating whether I should avoid wearing Lolita to school once I reach that level of education. I'm concerned that because graduate school is the final level of schooling and the one which is most relevant to preparing people for a career, there will be more of an expectation on the part of the students to dress and act like adults. I don't want people, especially my teachers, to assume on the basis of my clothing that I am not mature enough to be on the verge of entering the work force, and thus treat me with less respect or seriousness than they treat the other students. Do you think wearing Lolita could cause this to happen? (My preferred style is casual/sweet, by the way.) Please be honest; I won't be crushed if it's in my best interest to avoid wearing Lolita fashion in school, because I have several other, more socially acceptable styles that I frequently wear and enjoy just as much.
