<p>“I am seriously considering vandy, and I just visited this past weekend. The campus is indeed gorgeous, but the atmosphere is indeed very southern.”</p>
<p>You mentioned that Vanderbilt is in the “South” has Southern culture is very southern and all kinds of different ways to charecterize the south. </p>
<p>Let me guess you decided against Vanderbilt. Right? There is nothing wrong with being exposed to southern culture. As if the admissions staff is going to fret about whether or not you “take” to the South. I guarentee that UPenn or Princeton or Harvard could care less if one doesn’t “take” to the Northern culture. It is what it is and one has to adapt and get along with all types of people form all types of cultures. The South by the way is just about the coolest place I have ever been and I have been all over this country and in many other countries. So deal with it</p>
