Choosing to attend Vanderbilt was, quite honestly, one of the most wise decisions I have ever made in my short, 20 year life!!! Vanderbilt offers a wide variety of opportunities for all of it's students. From hosting a beautiful campus, to taking an active stance on student health, to making sure every students is represented, Vanderbilt offers not only a high-quality education, but also a well rounded program suited for any individual!!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you are prepared to put in work. Nothing good in life comes easy!!!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I most definitely spend a lot of time studying, and the courses are challenging, but the professors are wonderful and are always happy to help you out!!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are not pent-house suites, but they are not prison cells, either. Freshman dorms are awesome, and there are other houses that offer very nice amenities and rooms- from hardwood floors to marble lobbies (Branscomb).
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is amazing! Vanderbilt does an excellent job at providing numerous different choices for dining. Also, Vanderbilt is partnered with many restaurants (including Chilis, TGI Fridays, Wendys, Qdoba, etc) and they all take the Commodore Card!!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Many people like to go out, but for the gaming geeks like me, we prefer to use the huge lecture hall computers and projectors for late-night movies and Call of Duty gaming sessions!!!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Yes, Vanderbilt is expensive, but the opportunities that are to be had here are most definitely worth it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Going to greek parties is usually the thing to do if you just want to go out, but there is by no means any pressure to join any sorority/fraternity!! Doing so is simply a bonus, not a requirement.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Although Vanderbilt is located near downtown Nashville (which is a plus for the party-goers), the Vanderbilt police, who go through the campus in cars and on bikes, ensure that every student is safe.
