I have a feeling that you are a URM that has been fed lines of BS about how people are treated in the South. It is true that human nature dictates that we gravitate towards people like ourselves but in the South and in particular Vanderbilt the culture has become increasingly more diverse and more interesting because of it. You seem to be a smart person but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to make an experience your own. What you put into it is what you will get out of it. The weather, the people, the city, the academics. What’s not to like? Southern culture is much more adaptable than you think. When you come to the south you are taken in as a Southerner. You alone will have to make the south and Vanderbilt work for you and once you do, you will never have any place better on earth to thrive in.
