Vanderbilt FAQ
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So I just wanted to talk about Vanderbilt and what kind of school it is, how big it is, where it is. So we are in Nashville, Tennessee, and that is a pretty big city. Vanderbilt's campus is about like, um, ten minutes away from actual downtown Nashville. Um, and then, like the airport is twenty minutes, like fifteen to twenty minutes away driving. So there is a different, decent mixed between city life and also campus life, because if you walk ten to fifteen minutes, you can actually go to a lot of stores and, um, places to eat. Then if you kind of drive ten minutes, you can also go to more places to eat. Of course, a wider variety of places, Um, and like Music Row, where there is a lot of because we are known for, like country music, there is. There are a lot of like recording studios that type of stuff about ten to fifteen minutes away by driving us well. I think they're about like seven thousand undergrads in total, with graduate students there about, like twelve thousand, so still medium sized, and the weather is actually really nice here. I came here because I thought the campus was really pretty. I also thought that I wanted to live somewhere warmer since I am from Pennsylvania. Um, so that those where's oh, large factors in choosing to come to Vandy and so more about the weather there are for four seasons, I think, um, very warm summer. I know almost every day when school started in August, like people were just sweating. Um, and we did have snow in the winter are attractive fall. I think we have a lot of different varieties of trees and actually have them label it. Of course, we do have a lot of acorn trees since that is our school tree. So And it's also unlike our little emblem, if you look at it and oak tree with my little eat corn, so yeah, It definitely has ball. If you look at most of the online pictures of Vanderbilt, you'll see that they are taken during the fall or the spring because that's when our campuses prettiest. I wish I was actually surprised that I thought it was going to just be like a chilly winter, but it was actually pretty cold. So you probably do you want Teo, bring a pair of shoes or boots that you think will be okay stepping in this snow. I think a total of three or four times and when we do get it's like one too four inches. Even that tiny amount, because it is we are in the South school can cancel and your classes may be cancelled. Depends on how your professors can get here as well. Um, so yeah, and it also rains a lie come spring time, it gets warmer. It's March late March and the temperature eyes ranging from, like, late fifties, too late sixties. Um, right now, um, so But also, it's kind of weird the weather right now, because it because I think of like, the storms that were going on in the northern area with, like, nor'easter, um the temperatures were arranging, like, before I left for spring break. There's a lot of rain in Nashville, and a lot of the time it's heavy rain. So I've seen a lot of people were like rain boots. Definitely want to check the weather everyday, carrying umbrella when you think it's going to rain. Yeah, so four seasons Really nice weather, I think. Nice size, um, and think it's a decently size school so that you have a lot of new people you can meet, um, and they're very different, right? Because there are so many people. Well, you're just going to come across like people of different majors, different schools. So you can kind of expand your social circle, get to know you get to interact with people that you might not on a normal basis or how like you did in high school. Um, because there is a pretty large student population, two, you won't get to know everyone. Because then I can look forward to meeting new people every year. Um, they just want you to feel comfortable of Andy and have a good first year. So if you do come across, upperclassmen definitely approached them and asked them for advice, just like, ask them about their experience of indeed Yeah, and I really like food. I like music as well, not a big country music fan, but I'm starting to get used to it. So if you do like city, the city area, which is something that I did like, then you might want to consider Nashville and Vanderbilt. Yeah, I was a little bit about the school, and I hope you guys enjoy taking a look at Vanderbilt here.
