Would I be comfortable at Vanderbilt?

Vanderbilt has students who are conservative and some who are liberal - it’s a nice mix and no one has problems with people being different from themselves. I heard the chancellor talking about representatives from both the Bush and Gore campaigns coming to Vanderbilt once while I was there. He said that both activities were equally attended and equally respectful. The Vanderbilt population is probably like America in terms of politics - 50/50. We are from the south, but my son’s best friend was from New Jersey. We are all Americans and it’s good for people to learn about those who don’t come from the same backgrounds. a great school in a fabulous town…

Some of the fraternities are actually more “northern” than others. Being from the North doesn’t put you in any sort of minority. It’s really a nice mix.
