<p>ok vandy students I need to know something very important about vandy: where is Cornelius Vanderbilt’s statue located on campus? I m writing my why vandy essay and I am referring to Vandy’s statue. Well I visited vandy over 5 month ago and I honestly dont remember the location at all. It would really appreciated if someone from vandy could tell me the location of the statue and its surronding buildings. There is a vandy statue on campus… right? :(</p>
<p>btw how long is the “why vandy” essay supposed to be? I am writing single space and will probably end up a page and half long; is this too long for a supplement essay?</p>
<p>The Cornelius statue is located between Kissam Quad and Vandy/Barnard…both are freshman dorms. I believe the little drive-around it sits in is considered the main entrance to the campus, considering the administration building (Kirkland Hall, the clock tower) is also nearby.</p>
<p>my why canderbilt essay was a full page single spaced. it should be 500 words long, approx. just keep it short if you start to write crap. greatness can e found in concise writing.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>What is the name of the library at vandy?</p>
<p>The main one is the Jean and Alexander Heard Library. Or, as I like to call it, hideous!</p>
<p>not hideous at all!</p>
<p>Oh no…very very hideous! I took a tour of it at the beginning of the school year and the guy asked us to donate money (since we should have lots some day due to our Vanderbilt degrees…=) ) some day for a new library. I honestly think that building a new library is much more important than the Commons.</p>
<p>what is the one place on campus that everyone first thinks of as typifying the school? would it be Alumni Lawn, or is there somewhere else? thanks</p>
<p>thats a very individualized thing #18, you have to chose a location for your own reasons</p>
<p>As a student currently applying to Vandy i believe that one should mention a landmark in a school and connect with the landmark because the adcoms know where every landmark is but they want to know why you have chosen to mention a particular landmark and how it will affect your study at Vanderbilt. </p>
<p>This is my opinion if you are going to mention any landmark in any university.</p>
