2332, I wasn’t casting aspersions on Vanderbilt’s milieu or its students. The OP said he was attracted to the Southern culture there and TourGuide advised that he would fit into the social fray better there than where he was surrrounded by “hundreds” of people from NY and NJ. I was going on their perceptions and wanted to offer a different take on it.

We Northerners (and especially young Northern women) like Southerns and Southern charm . So I thought it might be an asset to him.

Although personally I’ve always considered all the Texans I’ve ever known to be more…Texans, but that’s another story. (Oh and that was meant as a compliment to Texas and Texans.)

BTW, just for the sake of accuracy, the Vanderbilt website shows the total number of students from the South, Southwest and West as 60%.
