<p>Vandy kids are on spring break this week, so you'll have to settle for a mom's answer just now. S is a student there now and D is going next year. We were there two weeks ago and within a few blocks there were kids going to lacrosse; coming from baseball; and a ton of fans headed to men's basketball. Seems like they get good concerts on a regular basis - S's freshman year the homecoming concert was Counting Crows. In two weeks they have a political seminar on campus called Impact and this year's speakers are Ann Coulter, Al Sharpton, and Howard Dean. I'm not there often, but from what I can tell there is always lots to do on campus. You'll get better answers from the Vandy students, but they may not be on CC this week.</p>
<p>I am currently a first year graduate student at Vanderbilt, but I also went there for undergrad as well....got into this board because my mom always goes here (my brother is going to the Naval Academy, so I checked out the Vandy site). I'm from Chicago and I found Vanderbilt and Nashville had a lot to offer in terms of entertainment--there's never a lack of things to do! I would say that as an undergrad there was a pretty good mix of staying on campus vs. going off campus--I had a car soph. year but freshman were allowed cars when I was there so friends had them. We went to a lot of movies, concerts, clubs downtown, etc... Everything is a pretty cheap cab ride away as well. </p>
<p>There's always lots going on in Nashville--great nightlife downtown and lots of free concerts and events. Vanderbilt also provides a lot of great entertainment between sporting events, concerts and other activities. They send out a weekly e-mail on Fridays to let people know what's going on, in addition to the newspaper (3x per week) and other publications. </p>
<p>I was in a sorority, so I can't completely vouch for non-Greek life, but it seemed as if my friends that were "Independent" (as non-Greeks are called) always had great social lives. All of my roomates after freshman year were not Greek, so it's definitely not segregated (at least I didn't think so). But then again, most of my friends that I hung out with and still keep in touch with are from my sorority. But I definitely don't think it's a requirement for having a good social life! Feel free to ask any other questions you may have and good luck in the decision process!</p>
<p>how's the food and the dorms?</p>
