Major: Chemical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I really enjoyed my time at Vanderbilt. 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.

questionThanks for your helpful sharing. I would like to major in Chemistry. You mentioned about the GREEK life. What do you mean? I am fond of colorful extracurricular activities. So is the Greek life a big influence? Thanx!
