[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago/Northwestern seems to have a more open vibe socially than Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is still a wealthy conservative Southern university and Nashville isn’t Atlanta. [/quote]

Nashville is better than Atlanta. And it's been a very long time since Vanderbilt was a "wealthy conservative Southern university." California, New York, and Illinois are very heavily represented at the school. Most students there are as liberal as at any other school. According to my kid, most students are studying Monday through Thursday, but the weekends are very social. Broadway is nearby. SEC sports are now pretty big at Vanderbilt. There is a Greek scene for those who want it. I think it's about 30 percent now, but it is there. Students at Vandy are pretty extroverted. I don't love the work hard - play hard cliche, but it seems to fit for Vanderbilt. I think most applicants to Vanderbilt and Northwestern will like one or the other more after a visit. For my kid, Vanderbilt has an energy that Northwestern didn't have.  [/quote]
