no where else can you take classes with famous professors, see a top 25 bball team, and feasibly (if you wanted to) party every night of the week

<p>My son has said many times Vandy is all about Balance.
It has a great balance of Academics to Social to Facility Support to Big Time Sports. It is just as Sydo has mentioned. Vandy supports you in every single aspect of your life. It is the best balanced school in the top 20.</p>
