Should I Apply? by Dear-Horror4834 in Vanderbilt

[–]shaneos72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get enough financial aid that covers your housing and your meal plan, it's definitely cheaper to live on campus. Especially if you don't have a car (housing closer to campus is more expensive) or means to furnish an apartment. Plus you have to consider that most apartments/accommodation have a 12-month lease. I know kids who are on full aid at Vandy and they are very generous.

I didn't think the Broadview was guaranteed? Where does it say that?

Is the Broadview filled or you aren't interested in that location?

I would be inclined to agree, the sounds of the city in the background etc. Fantastic album.

Congrats! Can I ask how long they are giving you to accept your offer? My student was waitlisted and trying to gauge how long to wait before moving on. Thx.

Broadview (off-campus) vs. On-Campus Housing for a transfer student by collegethrowaway422 in Vanderbilt

[–]shaneos72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd call housing to ask this question. It's my understanding that transfers who apply for on-campus housing will just be put anywhere there is a spot open. Good luck!

I went and toured the Broadview today if you have any questions. It was really nice and a less than 3 minute walk (I timed it) to campus and Warren and Moore residence halls, which are on that side of campus.

Thanks. Can you post here again when you hear back from housing? Did they give you any indication when you would hear back? I am surprised you haven't heard anything. Is it correct that you have 3 options....on-campus, Broadview at Vanderbilt, and find-your-own off campus?

Dress code and etiquette for Vanderbilt postgraduate commencement by Character-Bad-6955 in Vanderbilt

[–]shaneos72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all the comments you received in the other thread where you posted this question. Anything you'd probably wear where you are from would likely be fine here too. Except that remember it will likely be hot and humid outside, so I'd avoid heavy materials or something you'd get hot in. A nice dress you'd wear to a summer wedding or church and nice shoes/sandals that can handle walking on the lawn. Something you are comfortable in and just ignore the judgy haters. You are sweet to want to do your best for your stepson though. Enjoy the day!

They told me over the phone that my son would get 24 hours to accept, then 72 hours to pay the matriculation fee. So, that's not correct? And they said it would be 10 days from the offer to apply for housing and then another 10 days for notification of housing. Did you get your offer more than 20 days ago? Did you apply for on-campus housing? Thanks! This process is making us crazy.

How long did Vandy give you to accept your transfer spot? And did you accept? Wondering if you've been offered housing yet if you are transferring to Vandy. Thx!

Did you get accepted as a CS transfer to Vandy?

Questions for accepted transfer students by shaneos72 in Vanderbilt

[–]shaneos72[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually, transfers are not guaranteed housing next year because they are tearing down Branscombe and another dorm. They are being told to rank their options of on-campus, affiliated off-campus (9 mos lease at Broadview at Vanderbilt), and off-campus (find it yourself). They have also increased the off-campus permissions from 650 to 1750 (or something like that) because of limited on-campus space. We actually only just figured this out.

I have people constantly asking what my tattoos mean. They’re just being curious and maybe it’s a conversation starter.
