What impressed you positively?

the cohesiveness of the students

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that everyone there seems to be from Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and other east coast uppety schools. Granted, the students were nice but I have a feeling that Vanderbilt cares more about the numbers than they let on. Oh, and the idea of living in Tennessee is horrible. Everyone is caucasian and of the same background. And I think Vanderbilt tries to make their class more colorfully heterogeneous rather than wanting to get to know the prospective students as individuals.
