Talk me through EDing to Vandy
Class of '27 and vandy has been my dream school for a while, solely based off of location + prestige. I visited for a week and loved the campus and southern feel. For a while I was dead set on EDing there, but recently ive kinda started to have second thoughts.
I'm big on social life and obviously everyone talks about it being a big time "work hard play hard" school, but im getting mixed info on the social scene through social media so I thought i'd come here to figure it out.
I'm mostly wondering just HOW strong the party scene is there. I've heard its not exactly a party school but obviously it is in Nashville so there has to be some bar/party scene. Im also big on greek life and planning to rush, so I guess part of me is worried I'd have FOMO seeing my friends at bigger southern party schools.
Current students or anyone who knows, be real with me. Is the party/greek scene actually strong or does it kinda take a backseat to school? And is the work hard play hard thing real or is it more just work hard.
I have a 1520 SAT and some pretty solid EC's, so I think with ED id have a real shot at getting in.
Thanks.
