Vanderbilt University

Student life

All undergraduate students not living with relatives in Davidson County are required to live on campus all four years to the extent that on-campus student housing facilities can hold them. Therefore, in reality, approximately 80% of undergraduates (freshman, sophomores, and most juniors) live on campus, while most senior undergraduates and graduate/professional students live near campus. Consequently, student life at Vanderbilt is heavily intertwined with campus life.
