[quote=Anonymous]If she chooses Vandy, highly rec asb alternative spring break, great way to meet ppl from random parts of campus. Re eating disorder, Greek life is fortunately not as dominant there as it was 20 yrs ago, which is a good thing—the women’s center and women’s studies programs were amazing resources back in the day (and also attracted a lot of prelaw people), no idea what they are like now but they were a lifeline back in the days when the campus was less diverse/more Greek than it is now. I knew one transfer and she did fine? I thought clubs and student orgs were fairly welcoming, but I’m guessing that’s the same at Gu, nw, etc.

For me I’d say the biggest differentiator would be, will she grow and benefit from being away from Dc? So to me, I would say Vandy or nw over Gu, just for the really new, stretching experience. Vandy is nice weather, even milder than Dc. Yeah if my kid I would encourage Vandy, and I didn’t even have the best experience there (long story, irrelevant to your situation).

Fun fact, a lot of campus “traditions” like “anchor down” were basically made up about 20 yrs ago as part of a big rebranding campaign, ha! [/quote]
