College Overview: Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt: Go 'Dores!
You need to come visit to fully understand why everyone loves Vanderbilt so much. Once you visit you won't even consider another school. I applied early decision without even considering other schools. Everyone here is very social but academic at the same time. Weekends start on Thursday and don't end until you're reliving what you did in Monday morning's 8am class.

Vanderbilt: Achieving Balance
There’s something very unique about Vanderbilt’s balance that it finds between you know work hard and play hard and that can involve alchahol on the weekends and doesn’t have to involve alchahol on the weekends cause you have a great city such as Nashville to – that was another big factor for me is being in a small city with a big city feel and when you’re on campus you’ll look around and you could be anywhere in the world. And then you have downtown Nashville all a mile away.

Vanderbilt: Smart Kids
When I first got here I thought it was gorgeous like I though its actually perfection as to what I expected out of a college living situation like it’s beautiful here – magnolia tree, which we only have in the North East, and everyone’s tanned and really nice and cute. That was nice. There probably a lot more preppy of a student body than I expected but you know I’ve been able to adjust to that.
