Goodschoolhopefully, I’m glad you tried to be a voice of reason among some of the people on this thread. To insinuate that students with need-based aid have slothful parents is so offensive to me, that I can scarcely believe someone said that. I wonder if such parents will ‘allow’ their children to associate with students who receive (heaven forbid) need-based aid.

Remember, Vandy is also generous with MERIT AID. Regardless of your financial background (born rich, worked to be well-off, or worked very hard and saved every dime you could) every student has the opportunity to apply for those dollars.

Please try to state your opinions in a way that doesn’t degrade other people. Those who are able to express themselves and still show respect for others–those are the human beings I’d like to see receiving diplomas from Vanderbilt.
