    What a beautiful campus! There are lots of old brick and stone buildings with pretty architecture. I mostly saw the athletics area during my tour, since I have a family member who works there. They have a really modern, sleek facility. I'm so glad I was able to see it.

    My daughter took me on a tour of this beautiful campus. Marvelling at the historical Harry Potter-like buildings and structures, it's nearly impossible to truly see all 340 acres of this amazing arboretum....but we gave it our best effort! She took me inside the School of Nursing where she spends most of her time. I admired all the displays and pictures showcasing the wonderful work and people from this institution. My daughter spoke highly of her professors and their dedication to each student's success. They are always available to provide support when needed, to safeguard her academic and emotional well-being. It gave me comfort knowing that she is so cared for. The experience filled me with great pride knowing she will become an alumni of this prestigious university.

    I am well passed my college days, but our hotel was a 5 minute walk away from Vanderbilt. It was a beautiful day so we decided to walk by and explore the campus to kill some time. The campus is absolutely stunning and beautiful and surrounded by greenery. I was not expecting it to have this much of a fantastic atmosphere. There are so many plants and trees near you that you feel like you're walking through a park when you make your way through campus. Makes me think I should have considered Vanderbilt for college!

    Go Vandy or Go home!!

    Summary: This school is super awesome - unless you are bored, there is no need to read the following completely biased review by an alum who is infatuated with the school. Vanderbilt has been a wonderful school for me as a student and as an alum. I make a point to serve on an industry panel and talk to students to help as Vanderbilt helped me financially to graduate without debt and professionally to collaborate on many cool projects. Vanderbilt believes in the mission to educate without student loans by assisting any way they can. My nephew and niece both graduated without debt as well. Professors are tough notch. Yeah, there are a few exceptions but overall the school cares about the quality education for the students, and professors are available and willing to help. We rarely have a good football team, and I'm proud that we don't follow the model of chasing money in athletics. I like Vanderbilt as an academic institution. Besides we are pretty good at tennis, golf, baseball and bowling, I hear. The expansion of school made the campus to be scattered about in Nashville, but overall it is a pretty campus. Since my graduation, the buildings have been upgraded. When I was there, bathrooms smelled like it...and I was ok with it. Buildings look old and smelled it too. And I liked that too. Now many buildings are modern and clean. I like it ok, but I miss the old quaint feel of a classic American institution. If you want a small school feel with top academic reputation, diversity, and cool college experience, I recommend Vanderbilt!

    Historical beautiful campus. Felt a little Harry Potteresque with the manicured green grass, mature trees, stone architecture, brick offices and clean walkways. There are more modern basic buildings and surrounding road/dorm construction, but nothing that will deny you access.

    We came here as tourists, not students or faculty, to check out the area. My traveling companion is very impressed with things collegiate, so we decided to step into these grounds. We entered through West End Avenue and parked. Cornelius was there to welcome us. It was exciting to see him. We walked around, imbibing in the sophisticated thought, and transported ourselves to the past. The buildings definitively improve the proper use of your imagination. I found interesting that the Psychological Sciences Building has designs that remind me of the Freemasons, but it is all in perfect accord. We enjoyed our time here.

    Vanderbilt University is right next to the Parthenon. We drove a few blocks and then parked and walked.This is a beautiful campus, but not as nice as our alma mater, UF. The campus is dominated by the university's medical facilities. They are fairly modern buildings. We had a great post Thanksgiving walk and were on our way to the huge park we were originally looking for.

The campus is beautiful especially with recent state of the art renovations and the staff that I have encountered were all very passionate about leveraging a student's, artistic, intellectual and athletic potential. As we all know education is a major issue in our country but this school appears to be part of the elite schools that offer an outstanding educational experience from grade school through high school graduation. It's going to cost you though, with grade school tuition at around $16,000 a year and high-school hovering at $18,000.... you must invest or pray to god they offer your student financial aid which is available. The good news is USN gives over $1.8 million in need-based financial aid to 18% of the students. Even attending the Artclectic event showcased how USN truly invests into it's educational model and really stands out from the pack of sub-par schools that are unfortunately part of the thread of the city.

    Very disappointing experience with Tennessee State University, especially the Financial Aid Office…read more My brother came to TSU expecting to focus on his education, but we experienced confusing and inconsistent information regarding his financial aid and account balance. I secured a Parent PLUS Loan of approximately $20,000, along with his expected FAFSA/Pell Grant funding, and was specifically told not to enroll in a payment plan because his aid should cover the balance. Despite this, his account continued to show changing balances and he was eventually purged from the University. What made the situation worse was how my brother was treated when he went to Financial Aid for help. As a freshman trying to understand a serious issue affecting his education, he deserved patience, professionalism, and support--not to feel like he was an inconvenience. Students and families should be able to trust the information they receive from the University, especially when it comes to financial aid. TSU needs to improve communication, accountability, and the way students are treated when they come seeking assistance. I strongly urge TSU leadership to investigate what happened, review its financial aid procedures, and hold staff accountable when students are given conflicting information or treated disrespectfully. This should not happen to another student or family. Students are trusting this institution with their education and their future, and TSU leadership needs to start treating that responsibility with the seriousness it deserves.
