I’m looking to join community service, a church group, and perhaps the Asian Am Association just to learn more about my heritage. Having come from a small town in Alabama, I’ve missed out on a lot of cultural opportunities.



You can definitely do all of the above at Vanderbilt. D’s community service of choice was Habitat, but there are plenty of other service activities available. Nashville is FULL of churches, so you have your pick there. My D liked the non-campus churches - there are some very active churches in the area that welcome Vandy students. I am sure there is an Asian-American club; if not, you can start one. As for culture, Nashville certainly has plenty of that! There are cultural opportunities right on campus, but there are plenty in the area, too. Music is all over Nashville, and it’s not just country.
