<p>Thanks u all 4 responding my thread about my chances at getting at Vandy. I feel a lot better now about getting accepted and i'm in the process of putting the final touch on my application.
SINCE VANDY BECOME MY TOP CHOICE, I HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTION ON WHAT IS IT LIKE ON CAMPUS.
-WHAT'S GREEK LIFE?
-SO WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVING ON CAMPUS? IS FRAT LIFE BETTER THAN DORM LIFE? CAN A FRESHMAN LIVE OUTSIDE OF CAMPUS?
-SINCE I WILL BE AN UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY, IS VANDY DIVERSE ENOUGH FOR ME TO FIND A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT I CAN BOND WITH? ( I DON'T DIG THE COUNTRY SCENE THAT IS RELATED TO NASHVILLE)
-IS THE CAMPUS VAST TO AN EXTENT WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO CARRY A GPS AROUND?
-WHAT ARE THE GURLZ LIKE IN VANDY? SINCE I'M BLACK, ARE THERE ENOUGH CURVACEOUS CHICS ON CAMPUS TO SATISFY MY PERSONAL BIZ, LOL?
-I'LL BE ATTENDING THE ART N SCIENCE COLLEGE, SHOULD I START PREPARING MYSELF TO ENDURE SLEEPLESS NIGHT?
-I CONSIDER MYSELF AS AN ATHLETE BUT I NEVER REALLY HAD TIME TO FULLY PLAY VARSITY SPORTS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I CAN STAND OUT AS A STAR, CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS IT LIKE PLAYING INTRAMURAL?
-DO THE TEACHERS AND STAFF HAVE INDIVIDUAL TIME FOR STUDENTS?
-BESIDE THE COUNTRY MUSIC THING IN NASHVILLE, WHAT OTHER GREAT ATTRACTIONS ARE THERE AROUND?</p>
<p>-AND IS IT REQUIRED FOR ME TO TAKE THE SAT2 TESTS TO GET IN VANDY?</p>
<p>I HOPE I DIDN'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS...BUT U GUYS HAVE ALREADY GIVEN ME GREAT INSIGHTS...</p>
<p>I PLAN TO VISIT CAMPUS IN DECEMBER.</p>
<p>I'D POST THIS EARLIER BUT NO ONE REPLIED IT.</p>
<p>Glad you've found Vandy to your liking, as least for now. You definitely need to visit campus to see if it's to your definite liking.</p>
<p>Greek life is prominent on campus but it isn't totally pervasive. A large percentage of students are greek, so it's around, but conversely there is a large contingent of nongreeks here who have a life as well.</p>
<p>Living on the Vandy campus is like being confined to a large bubble. Sometimes you forget there's a world outside the well-defined boundries of the school. Frat life and dorm life willl conincide if you go to greek (more on that later). Freshman cannot life off-campus. In fact, you're require to live off-campus all four years. The greek houses only house officers because of rules I'd rather not type out right now.</p>
<p>There are minorities on campus (I'm on myself). I've never been in a position to complain, but Vanderbilt has fewer minorities than other schools like us. Nevertheless, you'll find people to hang out with.</p>
<p>The campus isn't that big. The maximum walking (btw, get used to walking if you come to Vanderbilt) distance between any two points on campus is 15 minutes. And yes, the girls at Vanderbilt is definitely something to look at. ;-)</p>
<p>If you're in A&S, you'll have a few days where you'll need to pull an all-nighter or osmething to get through, but not that many. I don't know much about the intramurals, but they're around. Yes, professors and instructors keep office hours and always easy to find otherwise. Most are real friendly.</p>
<p>You don't need SAT II's for admission, but you need them for placement purposes, but you should go ahead and take them so you can use them for other colleges too.</p>
<p>Hope I answered all your questions and good luck!</p>
