Vanderbilt prides itself on the diversity of backgrounds and experiences of its student body. Undergraduate comes from all over the country and around the world, representing a variety of cultures, ethnicities, religions, and ways of thinking. We hope you will join us on campus to experience this diversity for yourself.
