Living, Learning Communities

“I have wanted to live on campus with students since they first began such programs at Vandy. I feel energized by the students here and never tire of hearing their stories about their lives. When I hear people complaining about “today’s youth,” I often tell them, “If you think the world is in trouble, come to one of my classes or come to McGill. Your hope in the future will be restored.” I feel so blessed to be a part of the McGill community and to live on this beautiful campus.”

-Dr. Laurie Woods, Faculty Member in Residence, The McGill Project

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors currently have the option of living in one of three Living Learning Communities: The McGill Project, McTyeire International House, or The Mayfield Experience. Students in each Living Learning Community benefit from the mentorship and expertise of a Vanderbilt faculty member: Program Director (McTyeire) a Faculty Member in Residence (McGill), or a Faculty Adviser (Mayfield).
