These schools are peers – which, of course, doesn’t help you with your decision.

Vanderbilt is in Nashville, which is a pretty cool town with great music, a full-size replica of the Greek Parthenon, and pro football and hockey.

Notre Dame is in more of a suburban setting.

Try to find out about dorms/food and zero in on academic fit, specifically:

Program availability, access, and degree requirements

Intro level class sizes, TA involvement, etc.

Internship and research opportunities for undergrads.

These schools are equal in rep and overall quality. You can’t make the wrong choice if you decide based on fit.
