From The School
Vanderbilt undergraduates come from all 50 states and 52 countries, 51% are female, 49% are male, 41.0% are minority students and 8.8% are international students.
Vanderbilt is recognized for an active campus life, where students balance their academic lives with enriching experiences outside the classroom. In addition to finding community among the university's many identity centers, students can participate in 475+ student-run organizations, including pre-professional, cultural, religious, political, recreational, and social clubs. Elected representatives of Vanderbilt Student Government work in conjunction with other student leaders and faculty to bring noted speakers, events, and musicians to campus. Vanderbilt also has a thriving college athletics program. A founding member of the SEC, Vanderbilt has 16 Division I teams that have won four national championships and 30 individual and team league championships since 2000.
What students say:
The most important takeaway for those at Vanderbilt University is that “the students here are going to support you.” Overwhelmingly, students agree that their school offers a “collaborative environment of people from different backgrounds who are happy to engage with each other.” Moreover, “students at Vanderbilt are very driven, but in a … noncompetitive manner that cultivates a challenging but enjoyable learning experience.” One student playfully describes the student body as “sociable nerds—academics are important to us but we also love to party and have fun.” Others attest that students are “very intelligent” with a “work-hard-play-hard kind of attitude. The same kid you see out on Broadway at 3:00 a.m. is the same one who will wreck the curve on your final exam.” One student affirms that “everyone has their niche, and because of the school’s breadth of programs, often those niches are unique. Artists, scientists, musicians, engineers, and teachers all can come together to hang out and enjoy college life together.”

Admissions
From the School:
Vanderbilt seeks students with high standards of scholarship and character who are significantly engaged in their communities, often serving in leadership roles. Admission is based on a holistic review of academic and personal credentials. The application review includes strength of high school transcript, standardized test results, if submitted (either the ACT or SAT), personal essays, official recommendations, and extracurricular engagement. ACT or SAT exams are not required for students applying to enter the university for fall 2023 or 2024. The typical applicant will have completed 20 or more units in a challenging high school curriculum, including at least two years of a foreign language. School of Engineering applicants should complete at least four units of mathematics including calculus and physics.
Students may apply to Vanderbilt through Early Decision I or II, or Regular Decision. Early Decision I and II are binding decision plans, and may be appropriate for students who are committed to attending Vanderbilt if they are admitted. The application deadline is November 1 for Early Decision I and January 1 for Early Decision II; admissions decisions are available by mid-December for Early Decision I and by mid-February for Early Decision II. Regular Decision applications are due January 1 and admissions decisions are available by late March.
To apply, applicants must submit all required parts of the Common Application, Coalition Application, or QuestBridge Application, including two academic teacher letters of recommendation, a counselor letter of recommendation, an official high school transcript, and a $50 application fee, or fee waiver for qualified students. In addition to completing standard application materials, applicants to the Blair School of Music must submit a Blair School of Music Application, which includes a prescreening video. Selected applicants will be invited to audition in person.
Campus visits are encouraged, although a student's demonstrated interest in Vanderbilt is not considered in admissions decisions. Students should visit vu.edu/visit to learn about information sessions, campus tours, and other visit opportunities and a variety of virtual sessions. Take a virtual tour at vu.edu/virtualtour. Vanderbilt does not conduct on-campus interviews, but first-year applicants may participate in the optional alumni interviewing program.

From the School
College of Arts and Science
The College of Arts and Science is a small liberal arts college at the heart of a large, cutting-edge research university. The Arts and Science curriculum emphasizes both breadth and depth, and provides students with the flexibility to explore and find their passion. The college offers more than 60 unique majors and minors across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, and in a number of interdisciplinary areas.
Blair School of Music
The beauty of the Blair School of Music is the unparalleled opportunity to pursue conservatoryquality music training within a full liberal arts curriculum. This unique combination prepares students for the ever-changing demands of the music world. Internationally renowned musicians and scholars teach courses on topics ranging from Music and the Environment and Exploring the Film Soundtrack, to Music, Identity, and Diversity. Peabody College
Peabody students study people—how they develop, how they learn, how they think, and how they lead. Regardless of what path a student takes, hands-on, real-world learning experiences are an essential part of the Peabody curriculum. Peabody graduates succeed in a variety of careers—teaching, education administration, public policy, health care, business, law, research, and government. Peabody College is a respected voice in education, and faculty offer expertise that is highly sought by teachers and administrators from around the world.
School of Engineering
The School of Engineering fosters a dynamic, close-knit learning and research environment. Students work alongside faculty in engineering research centers and laboratories on projects ranging from robotics and nanoscale materials to technology-guided surgery and environmental management. Hands-on introduction to engineering courses, undergraduate research, study abroad, internships, and a senior design experience in which interdisciplinary teams work on industry-sponsored projects throughout the year help set Vanderbilt engineering students apart.
What students say
Vanderbilt University’s courses “are rigorous and meant to challenge you”—and also one of the school’s “greatest strengths.” That’s because students have all “the resources and support they need to succeed, including access to world-class libraries, technology, and career services.” Those high standards reflect well upon career-oriented students, especially those seeking “numerous opportunities to engage in research projects and pursue their academic interests.” Speaking on “behalf of pre-meds,” one student relates that “it feels like a majority of us are in research labs and shadow doctors at the Vanderbilt hospital.” Another student reports: “My electronics lab actually helped me get a summer internship offer from an electronics company!”
Professors value “honest discourse” with students “because they want you to succeed.” (For that same reason, the administration is “very responsive to students who reach out to them.”) Additionally, the faculty seem to “really strive to make personal connections with their students and get to know them as people outside of their classes.” One student particularly appreciates that “the small class sizes help students build a stronger connection,” especially valuable when it comes to, say, “a professional pianist who personally knows many artists, like Sheryl Crow and members of the Rolling Stones,” or business professors with loads of experience. “The thing that I think I have enjoyed most about my professors at Vandy,” concludes one student, “is that I feel like they are real people. They talk with my classes about our subject matter in a real way, relating it back to real human experience.”

05. Campus LifeScroll to Top
Location
Vanderbilt offers a park-like campus located in the heart of Nashville, giving students access to the best of both worlds–an arboretum-like campus to call home surrounded by a vibrant city filled with live music, food, and exciting events.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Vanderbilt University is located 1.5 miles southwest of downtown Nashville on a 340-acre, park-like campus that was designated an official arboretum in 1988. The university shares a name with and enjoys close collaboration with the separate, nonprofit Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The university comprises 178 buildings, including the Jean and Alexander Heard Library, home to over 8 million items. All first-year students live on The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons, a living-learning community for first-year students. After spending the first year on The Ingram Commons, students can apply to live in one of our distinctive residential colleges. With a faculty head of college as its intellectual leader, each college offers a robust array of programs, spaces, and relationships. Vanderbilt continues to add to its growing residential college system and plans to open two additional residential colleges by 2023.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Nashville boasts two nicknames: Music City, for its historic ties to the music industry and the current plethora of recording studios and music venues; and Athens of the South, because the city is home to more than 15 colleges and universities. Tennessee's capital is one of America's most dynamic cities, with attractions that include symphony, opera, ballet and theater performance groups; professional American football, hockey, soccer and baseball teams; and a wide assortment of restaurants, shopping, art galleries and museums. Considered one of America's best big cities for jobs, Nashville offers an array of employment in the tech, health care, finance, publishing and entertainment industries. Urban parks and greenway systems, as well as nearby lakes and rivers, provide ample opportunity for outdoor recreation.
What students say:
“There is a huge emphasis on building community here at Vanderbilt,” explains one student, “Students are greatly encouraged to join many clubs and organizations. The university doesn’t expect students to spend all of their time studying.” Many tout the music clubs on campus, like the Spirit of Gold Marching Band and the Vanderbilt Commodore Orchestra, a “great community” for “non-music majors.” One member describes the South Asian Cultural Exchange as “the largest and most impactful student organization on campus.” Others enjoy service-oriented and athletic groups on campus: “My favorite extracurricular activities at Vanderbilt University include working with Vanderbilt’s Habitat for Humanity organization and running with Vanderbilt’s Run Club. Habitat for Humanity in Vanderbilt allows great volunteer service to be done easily.” Students note that “a surprisingly large proportion of the student body takes part in Greek Life events to some extent.” They also take pride in their football being part of the “best sports conferences, the SEC!” Students also brag that Vanderbilt’s “location is ideal,” loving that “Nashville has an amazing food scene as well as lots of live music.”

TYPES OF TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE TO CAMPUS
Nashville International Airport is approximately 10 miles from campus and taxis and rental cars are available. Capitol Limousines also provides service to Vanderbilt and area hotels with a call prior to your arrival (615-883-6777). Greyhound buses serve Nashville, and taxis to campus are available at the bus station.
LOCAL ACCOMMODATIONS
Several choices are within walking distance of the university. The most expensive (the special rate for university visitors is at the high end of the moderate range) is Loews Vanderbilt Hotel (2100 West End Ave.; 615-320-1700, or 800-336-3335) which is across the street from campus. At the Hampton Inn (1919 West End Ave.; 615-329-1144 or 800-426-7866), you can get a cheap double room. Rates are a bit higher at the Holiday Inn Vanderbilt (2613 West End Ave.; 615-327-4707 or 800-663-4427), which has a pool and fitness room. We like the all-suite Hermitage Hotel (231 6th Ave. North; 615-244-3121 or 800-251-1908), about a 5-minute drive from the university. Built in 1910, the hotel has been beautifully restored, but rates are expensive. The new Homewood Suites (2400 West End; 615-340-8000) has an indoor pool and fitness center.

What students say
Vanderbilt’s stellar Career Center does its utmost to help students meet their professional goals and dreams. Right from the beginning, undergrads can meet with a Career Coach assigned to work with their specific major. What’s more, the Center makes meeting with said coach incredibly easy; you can get together in person, via Skype, or speak over the phone. Students can also tap into numerous online resources, taking career assessments, searching for internship listings, etc. Additionally, the Career Center sponsors a myriad of events throughout the academic year. For example, the office hosts industry specific “slams.” These operate as fun, casual networking events wherein companies pitch themselves to students in rapid-fire rounds and then set up tables so interested individuals can further the conversation. Of course, students can rest assured that there are more traditional career fairs as well.
