@crazym0m and others: We are visiting Vanderbilt for the first time right now (as I type this!) to decide between the CV scholarship and a full-ride OOS school that really impressed both my child and myself and would offer a ton of specialized research and other opportunities.
For us, even after meeting with some people today and walking six miles, it seems the research in my child’s field might actually be more difficult to find here at Vandy, but that depends a lot on major. As @fdgjfg says, it is clear that if your child wants neuroscience or direct medical research, this is the place to be. For my child, the major here at Vandy is not quite the desired one, so the research seems trickier to find, but it is so difficult to know before actually going to a college. I wish the visit were going better because I want my child to love Vanderbilt, and I want to be able to say it is a great fit, but so far, it doesn’t feel that way. And we spent the whole day on campus. But again, if my child were in direct medical/neuroscience research, I would have a different impression right now. Maybe tomorrow will go better!
