Vanderbilt Road Show
Each August, the Vanderbilt Office of Undergraduate Admissions begins fall travel season with a series of Road Show receptions across the country. Each ninety-minute program features a media presentation led by admissions officers, a question-and-answer session, and alumni or Vanderbilt parents as speakers. Learn more about our unique campus, premier academic programs, the admissions process, and financial aid opportunities.
Next year's Road Show receptions will be announced summer 2012.
Thank you for your interest in the Vanderbilt Road Shows--we look forward to seeing you at one of our events!
Vanderbilt Road Show FAQ:
1. What exactly is the Vanderbilt Road Show?
While we encourage all families to visit campus, the Road Show provides you with one way to learn about Vanderbilt without having to travel. The ninety-minute event gives interested students and parents the chance to speak with admissions counselors, meet Vanderbilt parents or alumni who live in the area, and learn about our academic programs, campus life, the admissions process, and financial aid opportunities at Vanderbilt University.
2. When are the Vanderbilt Road Shows?
The dates, times, and locations for the 2012 Road Shows will be announced summer 2012.
3. Will my admissions officer be in attendance at the Road Show in my area?
While we try our best to send admissions officers to their territories, it is not always possible. All of our admission officers are knowledgeable about the admissions process, as well as campus life, so the presentation will be informative and worthwhile to attend, even if your counselor is not in attendance. You can find your admissions counselor's name and email address on the admissions counselor website.
4. My city is not listed. Will Vanderbilt be visiting my area any time soon?
Our admissions counselors travel to various cities and states to participate in high school visits or college fairs. Please check our college fair website or speak with your high school counselor to find out if we will be visiting your area soon. We also host evening programs across the United States and internationally with other colleges and universities. These joint travel programs typically include formal presentations from each school, as well as time for questions.
5. If I cannot attend a Road Show event, how can I visit campus?
All students and parents are encouraged to visit campus. You may schedule an information session and campus tour, or attend any of our campus programs. Please see our campus visit website for more information. Registration is required for all of our campus visit programs, so we encourage visitors to register in advance and confirm your visit prior to making travel arrangements.
