Vanderbilt in Your Area


Road Shows

Every August, admissions officers travel to over 30 cities across the country to introduce Vanderbilt to prospective students and their families. During these Road Shows, thousands of students and their families listen as admissions officers give a brief information session about Vanderbilt and alumni speak about their Vanderbilt experiences. Sessions last about 90 minutes and include plenty of time for questions. Advance registration is required because these sessions often fill to capacity. If you are on our mailing list, you will receive an invitation in August. We hope to see you at the next Vanderbilt Road Show in your area!

Joint Travel Programs

Throughout the year, Vanderbilt joins with other colleges and universities to host information sessions in selected cities across the nation and around the world. These joint travel programs allow prospective students and their families the opportunity to hear brief information sessions from several universities and colleges in one evening. Sessions usually last about 90 minutes and include plenty of time for questions. Advance registration is required because these programs often fill to capacity. If you are on our mailing list, you will receive an invitation for programs in your city. We hope to see you at the next joint travel program hosted in your local area.

High School Visits

Each year, Vanderbilt admissions counselors visit high schools to speak with students about Vanderbilt and the admissions process. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and to benefit from other students' questions. Last year, Vanderbilt admissions counselors visited nearly 1,500 high schools across the United States. Most high school visits occur in the fall (September-November). If you are on our mailing list, you will receive an email notifying you when a Vanderbilt admissions counselor is coming to visit your high school. You can also contact your high school counselor to find out if we are coming to visit.

College Fairs

Throughout the fall and spring, Vanderbilt participates in hundreds of college fairs hosted across the country and around the world. In addition to visiting our college fairs website, you can learn about college fairs in your area through your high school guidance office. Many college fairs are hosted at local high schools, but some fairs are held at larger public venues. Attending college fairs is an excellent way to gather information about many colleges and universities in one evening. Like most universities, Vanderbilt may be represented by an admissions counselor, a Vanderbilt alumnus/a, or a parent of a Vanderbilt student.
