BB is coming to our school for an information session, and scheduled time for coffee chats. Should I really wear a suit to the s

I go to a semi target, and a few people from a BB sent out an email that they will set aside time for coffee chats before the information/networking session that night (that I cannot attend because of class). I sent them an email saying I would like to meet up for coffee and that I can't go to the session. Got a timeslot. I'm a woman, and a lot of threads say suits are a good idea for "coffee chats" but theses are usually for an independent reach out, not through the school.

Would a pants/blazer/blouse really be necessary, or could a casual dress/black blazer/flats suffice? It will be with a campus recruiter and a full time analyst, and at least one of them will be alumni.
