[quote=Anonymous]I'm a non-church going liberal Yankee Vandy Alum and I had a blast. I did have a good deal of culture shock when I arrived and it took me awhile to acclimate, but once I got my bearings, I eventually grew to love the school. As PP said, it is very greek, and there are many who are conservative and preppy and some of the southern debutantes can be downright ridiculous, but there are also plenty of people who aren't any of those things and it's just a matter of finding them.

I did not join a sorority and although Greek life is huge on campus, you aren't excluded from attending parties (or football games) just b/c you don't join. There's also plenty to do elsewhere on campus and downtown if frat row isn't your bag. I loved being in Nashville -- it's a great place to live and there's a lot of fun to be had there as a college kid.

As far as academics, Vandy was certainly a challenge but I got a solid education and the small-ish classes can't be beat. When I was there, Vanderbilt had a reputation of being a bit easier to get into (as far as top 20 schools go) but harder to stay in once you got there. I know admissions has gotten even tougher over the past decade. Oh, and the campus is beautiful.
