Vanderbilt Life for an Indian Male

Hey,

So I am an Indian guy born in America and basically everyone I know says I am the “whitest” Indian they have ever met. I have applied to Vandy and I hear that there is a lot of segregation there. Right now all my friends are Caucasian. I don’t mind hanging out with all people of other races (NOT racist at all). I have been told I am really nice to everyone and I am generally not hated by anyone at my school. I guess my questions are…


Is it possible for an Indian kid like me to be friends with all people on campus or will I be shoved to only being friends with Asians.
As far as roommates go for Freshman, do all Asians generally get paired together and then all Caucasians get paired together, like if I am Indian, does that generally mean I will be with an Asian person. I guess the reason I am concerned is because, although I am VERY academically inclined I really do focus up for hours but then after that I like to have a good time and not always talk about academics. I also like to go out and party and have a good time. I feel like Asians get caught up in academics a little too much.
I play guitar also, would that be a problem for rooming?


Is Vandy a good fit for me and I would appreciate it if you answered the questions also.

Thanks in advance.
