Imagine Vanderbilt being the choice to study engineering.

You don't get it.

Everyone…Vanderbilt’s ranking is a blessing at and a curse.

Without fail, if the school is really going to take the most academically qualified kids, it will turn into every other top 20 school.

Far less sports attendance, dwindling Greek interest, etc. Based on many responses, the transition is well underway.

Bloomberg published a clickbait article which seems to neglect what is actually happening at the school.

About 20% of the students are in the School of Engineering at Vanderbilt. Small classes, lots of faculty interaction and undergraduate research opportunities.

Agreed on the values. But also any parent who plans for their daughter's abortion, but is too stupid to realize that they can fly them home to DC or MD...????

And who cares about the poor women in Tennessee that can’t afford to travel? Not you or your kids, I guess.

Greyhound?

This. Premed makes sense but engineering? Tier 2 at best

Far below the top schools in facilities and opportunities. Period.

Vandy is a draw for engineering kids who didn’t get into Georgia Tech, Rice or UT Austin

More nerds? We know a few there and it's fish out of water. Only staying because they don't want to transfer.

Depends what you want in an undergraduate school. Most top engineering schools are large state schools without an undergrad focus and undergrads are in large classes and competing with each other and grad students for research and other opportunities. There are plenty of labs at Vanderbilt and a lot of new STEM hires. The director of the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute shifted to Vanderbilt this year to head the new Vanderbilt College of Computing.

It isn't just about abortions. It is about the fact that a doctor who uses their expert medical judgement and performs an abortion to save a woman's life could be thrown in jail. OB/GYN's are rapidly opting out of practicing in these states for fear that they could be arrested for doing their jobs and "doing no harm." So if your daughter wants routine OB/GYN care, it will become a lot harder to find.

Obviously they can maintain all of their doctors in their blue haven and only see them while home for breaks, but I don't think that is optimal.

It’s definitely a school that leans more extroverted. Much of the white culture there revolves around frats and sororities. The Asian and other minority kids are mainly premed and engineering and are doing what they need to succeed in terms of studying, research, clinicals and clubs. There are Gamecraft and D&D groups and hackathons etc for those who are nerdy in that way.
