[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is so weird to me. My kid just started at Vandy and the freshman class is  20-25% Asian. A huge number of the freshmen are premed or engineering and are taking Gen Chem. A lot of the rest of the students are music performance and education majors, as Vandy has renowned undergraduate schools for both. There are lots of other minorities and a decent number of international students. Out of five kids running for president of my kids’ dorm are two Asians, one Black girl, a Latin American international student and one white guy. There are active clubs for almost every ethnicity. Yes, a good number of the white kids seem to be rich frat bro types who want to go into consulting or spoiled sorority princess types, but there are also a lot of working class rural white kids that Vandy does special outreach to enroll. It’s a running joke that almost no one attends the actual football games at Vandy, though people like to tailgate. Maybe that will change with the team’s improving record. It’s like the people on this thread are speaking about a caricature of Vandy and not what exists. I don’t know much about the campus politically, but a poll last year said 90% of faculty and 70% of students were planning to vote Democrat in the 2024 election, so it’s not some conservative bastion either.[/quote]
So you are saying to run away from insufferable  white privileged moms and their entitled snowflake offsprings is actually going to .... Vandy?[/quote]
