My middle son chose Vandy over W&M, although he had spent three weeks at W&M in a summer program that, at the time, he said were “the best three weeks of his life.” He felt that W&M would be too confining after a while.

He loves history and Poli Sci, and has not been disappointed at Vandy. As a freshman, he was able to take the legendary course on politics and elections that is taught once every four years during presidential elections. One of the classes was taught by the prof calling in from the floor of the Republican National Convention! The history classes have been very tough and the professors are “old-school,” according to him.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the offerings at Vandy. Having the state capitol in Nashville may offer a nice bonus of opportunities.
