Why Vandy:I chose Vanderbilt because it combines great education, athletics, food, and music! I get the support to study tons of different topics and work through many different paths. I made so many friends from people having extra concert tickets and tagging along! From the second I stepped foot in Nashville I was welcomed into the Vanderbilt Lacrosse community for exactly who I was!”
