Check out this link and scroll down to “location by state” for 2011. I believe that 33% of students were from the South. While TN is the state with the most students, NY is second with 553 (and Texas is third). There were 257 students from NJ, 179 from PA and 138 from CT.

We live in CT and my son, who is a junior, loves Vanderbilt. All of his friends seem to like the colleges they are atending, but he LOVES his. He is fairly liberal, and enjoys the discussions that arise from differences in politics and culture. I believe they report that one-third of the campus identifies as liberal, 1/3 as moderate and 1/3 as conservative, which makes for interesting late-night discussions.
