First-years Vikrant and Joanna are excited to explore everything Nashville has to offer #HumansofVanderbilt #VU2023

Q: Why did you choose Vanderbilt?
V: I knew some upperclassmen who were going here and they really liked it, so I decided to go. Also, it was just far away from home and I like Nashville.
J: I really like the liberal arts that are available here, as well as Nashville. Just the fact that it's a city is really amazing, especially coming from a non-city. And both of my parents came to graduate school here, so I was slightly biased.

Q: How does Vanderbilt being in Nashville influence your time here?
J: I mean, there's so many opportunities to go somewhere. I feel like I'm always hearing about different things happening around campus, which is very interesting and fun.

Q: What is your favorite part about Vanderbilt?
J: The people! Yeah, just meeting so many new people and making good friends here. I think that's really been my favorite part so far. It's a lot of fun meeting people from all over the world.
V: I like the fact that it's its own little hub even though it's in the city, and the fact that 1600 students per class is relatively small, we have resources that are more focused on us, like Immersion. I think it's a really cool project and I look forward to doing it.
