Campus Visit Notes for Vanderbilt University:
Visit Description:
Vanderbilt, what can I say about a diamond in the rough? It is a beautiful thing to come across and then truely appreciate! This University was merely suggested as a joke but I took to it and fell in love! the campus overflowed with students eager to succeed and squirrels! In my opinion at least it is true that there are more squirrels than students. People may seem to be uniform in their appearance, but they are all unique and eager to help.
The information session is very helpful and kept my attention even though I did catch myself gazing out the windows at alumni lawn just thinking about lying on it and reading.
Overall, great expereince! Also, signage helps to find already highly accesible areas on campus!
