BEST SCHOOL EVER!!!! Best of both worlds because you get to be in an SEC Division 1 school, but it's smaller and more home-y.

World-class academics meets warm, southern hospitality. Nestled in the booming city of Nashville, Vanderbilt's campus is a little oasis. The perfect balance between social aspects and academics. Consistently ranked one of the happiest schools in America. Spectacular!

About University:
It is a wonderful place but not perfect by any means - but they are trying to make changes that are better for the student body. if only building new dorms didn't require construction to start at 4 am and wake up the people living right next door.....

Vanderbilt is the best! Nashville is an amazing city and the school is perfectly centered in it.

About University:
Food has been going downhill for a while now, and students glorify sleepless nights and unhealthy habits like no other. Some final exams are scheduled on Saturdays even if dining halls aren't open on the weekends, which is annoying and it goes to show how transparent the administration is about making profit. Overall, Vandy is overrated.

About University:
Aside from the Freshman Dining Hall (Commons) Food is steadily getting worse, but the Nashville food scene helps this out, however as compared to last year, Rand now is terrible. Great Professors, Great School, Great Location, Social Scene is great but is getting far worse due to the insane Greek Life Office which has banned half of the Frats.
