Vanderbilt is often confused with one of them Ivy League schools up in Connecticut or wherever, but with good reason. If you choose to attend the prestigious Vanderbilt University then you will receive a very fine education from professors who want you to succeed in acing their classes, reaching your goals, and finding your future. Professors will make time for you outside of class if you do not understand the material; they put themselves in our lives to teach us and they desperately want us to learn. The work at Vandy is not at all easy, but...

    The Nashville campus is amazing. Vanderbilt is located in a beautiful city. The best part, though is probably that there's no extra cost for out-of-state students.

    Vanderbilt has it all. From top-notch academics, to awesome SEC athletics, to an incredible social atmosphere... it doesn't get any better. Plus, when you decide to go exploring beyond campus, Nashville is an amazing city that Vandy is lucky to call home!

    Vanderbilt University is a beautiful school full of great academics and activities outside of studying. They've got a list of majors and minors for one to choose from. I'd be honored to study here with such a great school.

    Vanderbilt is an extremely challenging school. The expectations for the school are extremely high, but they are able to be done. Vanderbilt is an amazing school.

    Vanderbilt provides a great learning environment for any student who is privileged enough to go here. If you enjoy living on a predominantly Greek campus then Vanderbilt might be for you, but if Greek life isn't your idea of a great college experience then perhaps you should choose a different college. Oh, and don't expect to win too many football games, but basketball is definitely where we excel other than academics!

    Vanderbilt has a private school mentality, for good and for ill. You'll need to be prepared to deal with some people who've never had to leave their happy life-is-perfect bubble. But you'll often find even they are some of the most compassionate and generous people you've ever met.
