Vanderbilt University

Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
One day I will learn my lesson that labels are reserved for clothing and not education. The ranking of Vanderbilt University and the actual quality of education have NOTHING to do with one another. Though the chancellor is attempting to "diversify" the narrow-minded, conservative, southern student body by importing northeast Jews; the nearly all blond, Louis Vuitton toting crowd stultifies in it's lack of diversity and frightens in it's xenophobia. The graduate program in Nursing is merely about proving you can jump a multitude of hoops and has nothing to do with education. It is highly disorganized and is suffering from a major lack in communication between faculty, administration and students. When I queried a faculty member about the fact that every month, 6 exams and 5 papers were scheduled within the same week, he replied; "Well you don't expect us to sit around a table and ask each other when we are testing!" The attitude for success as explained to me by my faculty advisor is "Kiss up and shut up!" Vanderbilt likes to delude it's students into believing they are attending the Harvard of the South; but this is akin to confusing Paris, Texas with the city of lights.
