My daughter plays a bit of tennis and likes going to the gym 
Beyond that she is not into team sports, playing or watching.
She’s not alternative but not super preppy either.
Would Vandy be a good fit?
Any other schools jump out? She’s got strong GPA and scores.
Thank you!
I’m sure there’s many rankings like this. But no doubt Vandy is the type of school that can work for most any student. The three kids I know who have gone there are very different but all had a great experience.
What they say on the Princeton Review:
“Everyone here knows how to be a student when it’s time to be a student, and a college kid when outside of the classroom.” Students say there’s an “academic environment,” but Vandy students “take the work hard/play hard mentality to heart when it comes to weekend activities.” As one student puts it, “Everyone is outgoing and friendly, that’s why we came to the South!” There is “a vibrant Greek [life] community” on campus and students say the social scene is inclusive and interwoven: “It is not unusual for a student to be a tour guide, RA, fraternity officer, and still kill it in the classroom.” The “beautiful” campus provides the “perfect balance between your classic college campus and big city school” and the students are “passionate, caring, [and] genuine.” Even though “academics are usually at the top of everyone’s lists,” there’s “always so much to do on campus or downtown in Nashville,” with one student adding that it’s also fun to “visit one of the many state parks that are close by, or go to one of the thousands of concerts Nashville has annually.” On the whole, the atmosphere is “friendly and welcoming” and students say their peers are “clearly of high intellect, they are not competitive with each other academically and enjoy other things besides school.”
For future reference, you would have more success posting under College Search & Selection asking for advice. You should include sentences like:
-
My daughter is interested in …
-
She is looking for a college that offers …
-
Our budget is …
You should avoid sentences that include your stereotypes of a student group or university.
As written, I find that the OP does not comply with the Forum Rules. Closing
