Mayfield Lodges
Mar. 24, 2011—Even though we still have a little over a month left, I’m getting excited for next year! I already met with my advisor about classes and have a pretty good schedule mapped out. What I really can’t wait for, though, is living in a Mayfield!
Springtime!
Mar. 23, 2011—When I was picking a college, I barely gave any thought to weather. While I hate the cold, the longest I was ever outside was when I walked from my parking spot into my high school. I figured college would be the same, but, with my parents’ urging, I thought a little more about location...

Mar. 22, 2011—When you visit Vanderbilt’s campus for a tour sessions you will first sit in on an Information Session led by one of our awesome Admissions Counselors and then you will be led on a campus tour by a current student. However, these aren’t any ordinary students… they are hand picked every spring by the Admissions...

Mosaic Weekend
Mar. 20, 2011—For the last four days, I’ve had a high school senior sleeping on my floor. She was here for Mosaic, a multicultural recruitment weekend for accepted students. I signed up to host, which pretty much involved taking Melissa to dinner one night and giving her a place to sleep, even though they probably were not...
