Is Vanderbilt a place for a non-drinking Christian?

“Is there a strong Christian community on campus?”

I don’t think that your son would have any trouble finding Christian community at Vanderbilt. There are a lot of Christian groups on campus, such as CRU, RUF, Vandy Catholic, BCM, and BYX. This fall, a group of freshmen started a group called Midnight Worship, and it has grown past fifty or so in the last few months.

“What can one do for leisure rather than drinking?”

There are some good opportunities for recreation. It seems like every nice day there are people out playing soccer, football and/or frisbee out on the lawn. The surrounding area is good for runs and there are always intramural sports happening. That is just the type of stuff that I like to do. In any case, I doubt you’ll have trouble having fun at Vanderbilt.
