<p>I just sent my deposit last week and now im freaking out because I dont know anyone over in TN no family members or anything. I was wondering if anyone from Bay Area ( Close to San Jose) Going to Vanderbilt this fall??????</p>
<p>You may want to join the Vandy 2013 Facebook group - I have heard there are all kinds of discussion groups so Im sure you can find others from CA. Good luck!!</p>
<p>Momofknowitall’s son is a Californian coming to Vandy…she posts here sometimes. </p>
<p>Lots of Vandy students do come from faraway states. You will find that Nashville is very hospitable and fun…I do admire students willing to take a big leap like you!</p>
<p>My D found her roommate on the Vanderbilt Facebook site and she is from the Bay area.</p>
<p>I’M FROM THE BAY! 925. I’m about 45 minutes away from SJ. </p>
<p>I’m also heading to Vandy without knowing anyone from TN.</p>
<p>Hi VandyPanda,</p>
<p>Yes, Faline is correct, my son is going to Vandy in the fall and we are from the “OC”. He too doesn’t know anyone there and has no family within 1000 miles but he is so excited to be going. Honestly, the Vandy extended family, many of whom we have spoken with on CC, are the nicest, warmest, most helpful people we have ever encountered. I am confident you will love your experience in Nashville. For what it’s worth, my son turned down admission to an awfully prestigious university in your neck of the woods to go to Vandy because he felt it was going to be a better “fit” for him and he wanted to experience college in a different part of the country than what he was used to. PM me if you have any other questions. :)</p>
