@ohmtmom My son does not attend Vanderbilt, but he applied last year and we did an overnight visit (in a hotel). We both loved it! He is a top student from the northeast and I felt he would be very happy there. We spent some time with a freshman there who was just really happy and friendly, and showed my son all around. We talked to many students and they all seemed happy. I also noticed that many of them had applied ED, so since it was a clear first choice maybe it’s not surprising that they were happy. Our tour guide was from PA and spoke about how she chose Vanderbilt because of the balanced life it gives. As a mom, I was wishing I could pick it up and move it a little closer to home. But the airport is actually very convenient. Anyway, it’s all hearsay but maybe it helps! Good luck!
