Parent here. My D was accepted senior year & really liked Vandy, but she opted for another school because she was turned off by the greek/party scene. She transferred to Vanderbilt for sophomore year, though, because of the academics and other opportunities. She is glad that she did.

She did not rush, and she does not go to fraternity parties. She’s not all that socially conservative, but she just has no interest in that side of things. She drives a 2001 American car, wears jeans much of the time, and isn’t concerned with what others wear/have. I won’t say that she doesn’t get frustrated at times by the social scene, but she has managed to find her own niche. She is involved in activities that interest her, and she does things off campus in the Nashville community, as well. She has had incredible opportunities academically, and she is very happy that she attended Vanderbilt. She will graduate in May, and she plans to stay in Nashville.
