The Truth about Move-In
Mar. 15, 2017—Personally, I remember every moment of Move-In Day. This is not because it was traumatic or because it was underwhelming. I remember every detail simply because I was overwhelmed, terrified, yet excited at the same time. I remember driving into the parking lot and anxiously sitting next to the hot pink flags that represented Crawford...

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Mar. 3, 2017—Pre-med, pre-law, pre-dent…the list goes on, especially in the healthcare industry.

What’s it like to be pre-med at Vandy?
Mar. 2, 2017—Most incoming students are premed, but a lot of them don't really know what they're getting into, what it's really like, or if it's even worth it?
