@Fernie I have an aunt that is a religious Sister (like a Nun but not cloistered, there's a difference) and does not wear a Habit nor does anyone in her Order. As wil2power has pointed out, not all Nuns are required to wear a Habit. That depends on the rules of the Order. Think Sound of Music, Maria doesn't wear a Habit through the whole movie.
It's THEIR choice to join a religious order and it's THEIR choice which one they join.
Nuns wear the Habit for a number of reasons but most often wear it as a sign of purity and chastity. It's a beautiful notion that someone is willing to devote their lives to serving their Lord and Savior. When so many people don't believe in anything, it's reassuring that nuns exist.
Different Orders focus on different things. Some focus on healthcare, some education, some public service, some the homeless, some on charity. When a woman feels a calling to be a nun, she studies the orders, what they do and asks to join. It's a several year process to actually become a nun, and a devotion without limits to follow through.
You can ask any nun or religious sister and I will guarantee you they feel more free than anyone they know.

Absolutely, a lot of discernment goesinto the choice, sometimes literally for years.
