I felt that the academics were just okay, nothing special, though that could have just been my program, which admittedly is known to be kind of weak. There is a real lack of creativity that pervades the campus. This carries over in to the social realm as well. The school felt like it was full of all those kids from high school who so desperately want to be in the "popular group" all the wannabes gathered in to one school. It was sad. Conformity rules.

There are a good number of people from the north. There is a lot of work to do, but if you do it, and spend time on it, you can do well. Greek life is big but I have friends that are both in sororities and independent. I know that many people could not rush sororities because of their GPA from first semester. Be careful of that. I am in a sorority and love it. People typically end up where they should be. Guys who are not in fraternities can have a hard time finding something to do if they do not have friends in fraternities. If you are not in a fraternity and do not know brothers in any, it is hard to get in to parties. Girls have it much easier. Overall, a lot of work but a lot of fun. When it is nice out, there is always something going on at a fraternity during the day--crawfish boil, tailgate, etc. Girls wear dresses and go with dates to the football games first semester and freshmen run across the football field in front of a huge crowd at the first football game. There is always something going on at night--Thursday is clubs downtown and fridays and saturdays (for Freshmen and Sophomores at least) are frats. Go to Vanderbilt!

Dining options are pretty amazing (one dining hall has its own pastry chef!). There is a reason the campus is called the VanderBubble though- it is very hard to get off campus and go anywhere.

I was a Chemical Engineer who worked incredibly hard in my major. After graduating I went to work for a highly competitive and highly paying field engineering job. After a few years I decided to go back to graduate school and will be completing my PhD in Environmental Engineering at another school this year. I believe that the academic training I received from Vanderbilt has helped prepare me for both my engineering job and my future academic career. I personally believe you get what you put into your undergraduate life. I made several friends while I was there by being active in IM sports, volunteer work, and various activities. I enjoyed going to the basketball and football games with friends and have fond memories of Rites of Spring. I also enjoyed watching movies in the park and going to local bars to throw darts or shoot pool. There are several restaurants and bars within walking distance of the school. I was not in a fraternity but realize that Greek life is a big part of campus. However, you can still enjoy yourself and have a social life without being Greek. I look back and realized that I worked hard for my classes and made a several life-long friends. You get what you put into college. I hope you get to enjoy your college experience as much as I enjoyed mine. Starting Job: Feild Engineer, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: F Have a Question?
