A Slice of Campus Life
A Slice of Campus Life
I’m bored.
This is something I have never, ever heard a Vanderbilt student say. There is so much happening on campus on a daily basis, that boredom is never a threat. Instead, VU students face the challenge of trying to fit an incredible range of activities into schedules that also include rigorous academics and commitments to service, work, or other responsibilities. And yet, finding that balance in life is something at which the Commodores I know excel.
What is there to do on campus that they might want to fit into their schedules? I’m glad you asked! Here’s a look at what’s going on this week – just a regular, typical, amazing, wonderful week on campus.
