It is No. 17 based on US News Best College Rankings for various aspects of what people want out of a college and graduation rate and retention performance, etc. It has invaluable research opportunities for those seeking great opportunities to further their education in their field. Vanderbilt offers a safe environment, superfluous options in dining, and spectacular opportunities to become the best you.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Look at Rate My Professor as an invaluable tool before deciding to take a class. When choosing classes, there is an advanced option you should use when trying to find a perfect class to fit certain restrictions (whether it be time during the day, fulfilling an Axle Requirement, etc.). Cannot stress enough to do research with professors there. Get connected. Go to office hours and talk to your professors as much as you can. By doing research with them, it helps even more.
Make friends. Enjoy experiences otherwise not granted to you had you not went to such an affluent university.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Depends on where you live. But for the most part, dorms are small and outdated. Kissam is GONE thank God, but there is still room for improvement. The freshman dorms are by far the nicest on campus (before College Halls of Kissam). I have no idea what College Halls will bring but I'm jealous I will miss out on that! Hank Ingram on the commons are probably the nicest with the spaciest closets. I loved Gillette for its proximity to everything. Cole is pretty chill as well as the all-male dorms. McTyiere is a language learning hall so it is conducive to learning. McGill is by far the creepiest house on campus. There are demons on the wall... and even Jesus Christ himself is painted on the wall in handcuffs on his journey to the cross. Instead of Dirty Santa, they play Dirty Satan. Have no experience with Blakemore so cannot comment.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
By far the best selections ever. They are continuously updating choices and what is available. Especially the Commons area which can get old and tiring after eating there for an entire year because that is the closest option.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Definitely do the Nashville touristy things if you have never been.
Visit the various areas of nashville as well.
Inside the campus:
Fraternity parties are a must. Extracurricular Activities. Vanderbilt football and basketball and baseball games. Ummmmm typical college-lifestyle stuff. Walk around campus, do homework outside in the grass. Play frisbee. Etc. etc. Check out the Centennial Park just across the street from campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I mean just saying you go to Vanderbilt will give you high accolades around the Nashville area. Most things are within a 15-minute-walk walking distance around the campus. There are 10 various libraries to choose to study from. Many research opportunities that I cannot stress enough, and just the cultural influence and push from those around you.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Diwali is celebrated, which I love! Along with many other cultural traditions not traditional of just simple Americans. They will have cultural food nights where you get to try cuisine of other cultures.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Academically studious and those who want to become teachers. Most popular major is by far HOD (which I was not) but most people start off as something else and end up going Human Organizational Development route.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many activities and things to do and ways to get involved that sometimes it can become overwhelming.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
A MUST if you are a girl. 50% of all girls are. There is a greater push to be Greek at Vandy as well. Only about 40% of males.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It is pretty good. No place is perfect, and stuff does happen. But for the most part it is pretty safe.
