This week’s campus spotlight takes us to Music City - Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee! 

Location: Located in the heart of Nashville, Vanderbilt’s campus is an urban oasis lush, green, and filled with magnolias and historic architecture. Just steps away from world-class music, food, and culture, Vanderbilt students enjoy all the energy of the city while learning in a peaceful, park-like setting. It’s where academic rigor meets Southern rhythm.

Athletics: Don’t let the books fool you Commodore spirit runs deep! As proud members of the SEC, Vandy student-athletes bring brains and brawn to every competition. From thrilling baseball victories at Hawkins Field to game days at FirstBank Stadium, black and gold pride shines bright. Anchor Down! 

Academics & Mission: A leading private research university, Vanderbilt is known for its strong commitment to academic excellence, inclusion, and innovation. With top-ranked programs in education, law, business, engineering, medicine, and the liberal arts, Vanderbilt empowers students to explore big ideas and tackle real-world challenges. Through its "residential college" experience and collaborative culture, students grow both intellectually and personally with purpose.

Where bold minds find their rhythm. Anchor Down and rise up.
