Nashville is way more conducive to your mental health, leisure life and general well being. Vanderbilt is extremely diverse and demanding. Isn’t Vanderbilt also more selective? Where did you get the idea Hopkins would be better for the long run for premed? (not)

Hopkins has more Federal research money and a number one Biomedical Engineering program…so shop your program if you are lucky enough to know exactly what you want to study for four years already.

if you want to do premed in an arts and sciences college, Vandy and JH are peers. JH has the edge in International studies/Public Policy and I believe they have a strong English dept for writers…but Vandy has a good writing program as well.

Vandy has grad schools all around campus…very nice additional dimension to undergrad life.

You can try for Hopkins for med school. However those I know in Vandy Med love the place…
