Eight Days ‘Til Nationals!
Nov. 8, 2011—As a member of the Vanderbilt Women’s Club Soccer team here on campus, I’ll be leaving early for Thanksgiving Break, and instead of heading straight home, I’ll be detouring to Phoenix, Arizona for the club soccer National tournament.
Predators, Concerts, and Majors. Oh my!
Oct. 20, 2011—There are lots of things to catch up on! On Thursday evening, after my swarm of midterms were finally done, I went with my friend Rachel-Chloe to the opening game of the Nashville Predators vs. the Phoenix Coyotes at Bridgestone Arena, courtesy of A.I.Ch.E– the Chemical Engineering Society here at Vanderbilt!

Small Groups in BIG Classes
Aug. 30, 2011—Vanderbilt is a medium to small private research institution. We have an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio, with over 3,000 full-time faculty members. 81% of classes have less than 30 students and 92% have less than 50 students.

My New Favorite Subject: Neuroscience!

Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
