[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Vandy and am perplexed by the "boy culture" question. It's an academic rigorous school with a big Greek scene and a lot of kids come from money. Some of the most creative, liberal, artsy people I know went there and thrived as well, so it seemed like there was a place for everyone. The city is also very cool, and it's nice to have that as an escape (i.e., it's not like kids are stuck in the middle of nowhere - there is life outside the Vanderbubble).

I think if you trust your son and he has a good head on his shoulders, he'll thrive where he feels he fits in, "culture" or not. "Good boys" don't magically turn into rapists because they go to a certain school. [/quote]

Nothing to be perplexed about. Boy culture is just that....the culture of the boys that attend the school, duh!

I do think V is known for their Greek scene and the reputation is that if your son is not in a frat. then he will have  a hard time finding social activities that do center around Greek life. I did not attend so cannot say that with certainty but do hear this over and over.[/quote]
