The concept of “balance” permeates the undergraduate experience at Vanderbilt. Students balance academics, student activities, and social life in an environment that brings students, faculty, and staff from differing backgrounds, viewpoints, and life experiences together as one.
Because we believe so strongly that great ideas require more than one school of thought, students are allowed to pursue academic interests in all four undergraduate colleges, even those outside of their main field of study. A large percentage of our students will study abroad in one of the more than 50 programs offered by Vanderbilt (or through other universities if a student wants to study at a location not offered by Vanderbilt).
When not engaged in learning, Vanderbilt students have plenty of choices off campus. Nashville is filled with much more than country music and Southern charm. In fact, out of the more than 200 places to hear live music, less than a third play country. Nashville is also home to the Tennessee Titans NFL football team, Nashville Predators NHL hockey team, and the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team. The Frist Center for the Visual Arts offers ever–changing exhibitions of classic and contemporary art, and the Tennessee Performing Arts Center brings many shows hot off of Broadway to town.
With so much to do, on campus and off, any student who can balance a serious pursuit of knowledge with endless possibilities for fun will feel right at home.
