Apartment Time! — A Blank Canvas
Jul. 24, 2012—Vanderbilt generally likes its students to live on campus all 4 years because of the sense of community, but seniors (and this year juniors and sophomores because of the construction of the new Kissam College Halls) are allowed to apply to live off campus. This past weekend, I moved into my new apartment and I...
Pre-Med Professors
Jul. 23, 2012—One of my friends from high school has a little sister coming to Vandy next year so I’ve been sharing my vast wisdom (ha) about classes and professors, primarily pre-med related. Here are a few of my favorites for any curious incoming freshman:
I love summer.
Jul. 23, 2012—The title says it all. My summer break has been much too good to me. While there is a small void in my life without my Vandy friends, being back home has been filled with wonderful memories!
Goodbye Currey, Hello Chaffin
Jul. 23, 2012—You might remember this post on living in Kissam Quad. Well, Kissam Quad now looks a little like this so unless you are reading this post a year or so into the future, you can see why I will no longer be living there. However, this is nothing to mourn over because while I will...

Hola from Peru!
Jul. 20, 2012—Hello hello! I am currently sitting in my room in my new home in Lima, Peru. I am staying with a host family for three weeks, as I volunteer in a medical clinic.

VanderBabies! (Part 1 of 3)
Jul. 15, 2012—Almost a year ago, I arrived at Vanderbilt as the only student from my high school class. This year, three students from my high school will be joining the Vanderbilt family. I personally have known these three students for a few years, and I couldn’t be happier that they are attending the greatest school on the planet! To help welcome them to the community, I decided to interview them.
London Calling
Jul. 14, 2012—In case you can’t tell, I’m a teeeeny bit excited about studying abroad in London next fall. Two of my friends are studying abroad in Edinburgh, one in St. Andrews, and another in Buenos Aires…so how did we decide where to study?
