‘Student Life’
End of the Year Activities
Apr. 24, 2012—The school year is rapidly coming to a close. In an effort to go out with a bang, Vanderbilt has stepped up its programming. In addition to Rites of Spring, there have been tons of great events for students to enjoy before we head out separate ways this summer.
Featuring…FREN 215: La Provence (and more!)
Apr. 23, 2012—The French department at Vanderbilt offers many a course, ranging from beginner’s French to French history through literature to phonetics to more specific classes like “French Feminist Thought,” “Medical French in Intercultural Contexts,” and “Literature of the Fantastic.” A very cool advantage to studying abroad is that at Vanderbilt-in-France (in Aix-en-Provence), one can take courses...
Victoria’s Vanderbilt Visit and Verdicts
Apr. 20, 2012—You've probably seen a variety of posts here on the blog about why people chose Vanderbilt. Today I'd like to share my reasons with you. Much like Nathan, I don't have bullet points but as I am an English major, I figured I'd share my reasoning with you in story form.
Reliving my childhood
Apr. 18, 2012—On Saturday, Vanderbilt held its first Quidditch event. I relived my childhood days by participating.
Campus Visit? — Here’s where you should eat!
Apr. 18, 2012—You just got accepted to Vanderbilt and are planning a campus visit to check out the school and the town in order to decide whether you’d like it or not? Well — look no further than here (and all the links I’m providing) for places to eat in Nashville!
Unique classes — offered only abroad
Apr. 18, 2012—There are some very clear advantages to studying abroad — being in a foreign country, being exposed to different cultures, eating amazing food, traveling, and the list goes on…but there are also some fantastic academic differences that allow you not only to experience foreign educational systems, but also to take unique classes that you wouldn’t...
East Nashville Restaurant Crawl
Apr. 16, 2012—Yesterday evening, I participated in the East Nashville Restaurant Crawl. It was organized by CityVU and open to all undergraduate and graduate students in the Vanderbilt Community. I got to try three new Nashville restaurants, while hanging out with my peers.
The Final Countdown
Apr. 15, 2012—It's that time of year, blog-readers. Everything is spiraling into a just-barely-manageable madness. Every club I'm part of leadership for has events to help coordinate, final speeches and essays are due, and actual finals are just around the corner. Meanwhile, I'm trying to enjoy the time I have left with friends here in Nashville (particularly the soon-to-graduate seniors) and enjoy my final weeks here before I return home for the summer.
Spring Break in New Orleans
Apr. 10, 2012—It's that time of year again where I share what fabulous Spring Break option I decided on this year, about a solid month after I went. It should come as not much of a shock to you that this break I once again went on a missions trip with the Vanderbilt BCM. This year, the BCM went to New Orleans, a city I had never visited, so I was extra excited to go.
The Life of an Intramural Soccer Player
Apr. 7, 2012—Before coming to college, I was in the best shape of my life. For me, anyways. I played travel soccer for 13 years and 4 years of varsity high school before officially retiring upon my arrival at Vanderbilt. Life was great…until the “Freshman 15” rumors started to harass a very fitness-conscious brain. I had been...
