It's a great place with positive and negative factors. Although on the surface it appears that the Greek system dominates the social life, you realize after freshman year that this is not the case. There are closed-minded Southern aristocracy types and brilliant geeks. I think Vanderbilt provides great things for every niche. Don't come here because we're in the SEC. That's an illusion. Anyway, I love it, but not everyone does. Let me know if you have any questions.

questionOkay so I am thinking of transferring, and have about a week to decide - I am currently a freshman at Vandy but got into Wisconsin (madison) and U of Illinois…

Maybe its just being from the midwest, but i totally feel like the greek system not only dominates the social system but that everyone is defined by their letters. ( I am in one of the lesser sororities) Also it is very difficult to meet anyone else outside of a sorority. Have you found the same thing?

questionHi! I am an international student accepted by Vandy off the waitlist.I am a little dreadful cuz I saw many negative comments here: Drinking,drugs,racism against minorities,etc… Could u provide any info bout the international students out there?Or more specifically,Asians?
