Vanderbilt is a weird school. Ivy League academics mixed with SEC party culture. The first is why people in this area consider it, but the second stops it from being totally accepted...

I took the vandy rape case as another instance of Div I football run amok, not necessarily an indictment of the male student population at large.

Any school that has a strong Greek culture is trouble.

I would Google the recent articles about the rape case at Vanderbilt. That will probably tell you a lot about the culture.

Thank you.


Why are you so hostile to young men?


how is OP's post hostile to young men? Stupid!

I think its very Greek and most social activities revolve around Greek like, frat events, etc...it's a real "men's club" kind of environment if your s likes that.

My brother went to Vandy. He is conservative, married a Kappa girl from Houston, and became an oil and gas lawyer in Oklahoma City. My understanding is this is a typical path.
