MODERATOR’S NOTE:
The OP asked: " will I be able to still have a good experience at Vanderbilt and make friends with a variety of people?"
The OP did not ask about selectivity of Vandy vs Ivy League universities. Per the rules of the forum, this is not a debate society. 13 posts deleted.
Feel free to answer the question posed. Keep in ind that the OP is international and will probably not have an opportunity to experience first-hand before applying. Thank you.
