<p>donjuan, my parents do not make alot of money and I don’t pay a dime of tuition. My girlfriend who also comes from a modest family, also doesn’t pay anything either. In fact, nearly everyone I talked to raves about Vanderbilt’s generous financial aid packages. If you are applying to Vanderbilt and can’t afford it, Vanderbilt will give you a good package. I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
