I’m always griping about Midwestern winters here on CC, but in your shoes I’d pick ND (love that Lou Holtz quote above and suspect it is very true).

We visited Vanderbilt and - as cool a town as Nashville is (wow) - we just didn’t feel it for Vandy. For us it had too “preppy” a vibe, and the engineering didn’t seem different enough to pick expensive Vandy over a good ABET state university. But since you’re comparing two privates, our analysis is probably not germane.

I’ve always heard what a special place ND is.

I will say that the Nashville airport is very easy, clean, and as pleasant as an airport can be.
