'Dore For A Day
About

You will meet your Vanderbilt host at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at and eat lunch together at an on-campus eatery (lunch included). Please plan to arrive at our office at 12:45 p.m. With your host, you will attend a class and spend time together exploring campus. Your visit will conclude at 4:00 p.m. Although we try our best to match you with a host in your area of academic interest, we cannot guarantee this due to host availability.
