Vanderbilt Visits You

Posted by David Lazo on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 in General Information, Joint Travel.

Konnichi wa! After a long, but rewarding application season, I find myself at it again. As I write from Cherry Blossoming Tokyo, it is quite fitting that this spring Vanderbilt will be on the road introducing families and students alike to the benefits and distinctions of a Vanderbilt experience. Finding your college fit can be a rewarding process so long as you do not overload your research on the backend of your summer. Does that sound familiar? At the risk of sounding like your dad, take my word on the college search: Don’t wait until the last minute. Here is a list of major events that we have announced (keep checking back as we will announce more throughout the next couple of months):
