When I visited Vandy I visited over a Winter Break, and I have to admit that it was tough to get a feel for the school seeing as the only students on campus (it was absolutely dead) were a few athletes who had games over break. Whenever I visited schools while kids were on campus I felt I got a much better feel for the school as a whole, but that’s just me. If you really like the school and are deadset on it even without a campus visit that takes place while students are on campus then I say go for it, but if you have any doubts at all I would wait and apply RD, or submit the app and then try and visit it in January and then pull the app if you absolutely dislike the school for some reason.
