    Vandy is one of the most expensive schools in the country, but it's easy to see where your money is going. We have amazing facilities, programming, funding for student orgs, food, housing, etc.

    Vanderbilt is one of the most expensive schools in the country, and some students complain about it. But in the end, Vanderbilt is worth every penny. The professors are top notch, opportunities are plentiful, dorm life and food are great, and the experience overall is unmatched. If you can come here, you should.

    Not worth $50,000/yr. But I know maybe 2 people who actually pay that much. If Vandy gives you aid, it's grant. With help, it's worth it for sure.

    Expensive school... but if they want you here, they WILL make it economically feasible-- no loans, just grants and work-study.
