Vanderbilt vs. William & Mary?

I avoided checking into this thread because I don’t know anything about W & M. Now that I have read your post, I will say that my son, a junior at Vanderbilt, and his girlfriend, also a junior at VU, have not found being non-Greek to be limiting in any way, shape or form. They have plenty of social opportunities, plenty of ways to volunteer in the community (mostly I’m referring to the gf here), research opportunities, challenging coursework…

In other words, I would not let the Greek scene dissuade you. Perhaps in the past it was the case that the Greeks ruled social life for all, but that is just not true now.

If I read your original post correctly, you are being given 53K a year with no loan obligation. It is hard to imagine walking away from that.
