Vanderbilt is a wonderful school. I originally never thought I would be caught dead attending Vanderbilt. However, choosing Vanderbilt was the best decision ever. The financial aid is the best you'll find anywhere, seriously. The people here are very friendly. You can literally start a conversation with any random person. The professors are extremely approachable, and encourage students to go to office hours. The resources Vanderbilt offers are way more than you'll be able to use in one year. The PCC is there to help you gain better study skills. The study abroad and maymester programs provide various alternative locations to study. There are so many organizations on camus, that you'll definitely find your niche somewhere, and even if you don't, you can always make it. The resouorces to help you are endless, you just have to reach out for them. Your decision to come to Vanderbilt will be the best you've ever made in your life. It's really that great.

I am not southern and just graduated from Vanderbilt. I struggled socially the first year and felt that the social scene was neither what i expected nor enjoyed. Here's the secret to all who have explained this school as "dominated by greek life" or who felt "out of place" -- make.new.friends. College is a definite change, and, yes, while this school may not be for everyone, it provided me with the best four years of my life. Socially, my friends were Greeks and non-Greeks and they are the friends I will have for life. Academically, Vanderbilt is very challenging but that is to be expected. And, Nashville is the best college city, hands down. Concerts, restaurants, awesome bars,etc. make sure to get out of the "bubble" and experience the city too- it's worth it!

Vanderbilt University is not a safe campus. In the short while i was there, I was sexually assaulted by another Vanderbilt Student and heard of many stories of sexual assault taking place on campus. The administrators of the Conduct department of the University more often than not, choose to ignore complaints about sexual misconduct and the atmosphere is fairly depressing. The crime rate on and around campus is fairly high, with peeping, forced fondling, armed robbery and rape only a few of the crimes reported to the Vanderbilt Police department. I would not choose to go there if i were you, namely for safety purposes.
