‘Housing’
‘s that anticipatory time of year!
Mar. 20, 2013—I have always been one of those students who loved planning. There's something comforting about sorting numerous subcategories into an overall compartmentalized unit. Or maybe I'm slightly OCD and Type A. ;) Regardless, now is the time of year where people like me get to excitedly plan out their summers, next year accommodations, and future classes...
Fall Finale
Dec. 15, 2012—Today marks the official last day of the Fall Semester! Woo hoo! Though I made my way back home earlier in the week, I figured now is a good time as any to do some reflecting on the semester past and things to look forward to in the semester to come. Fall: 1) Large quantities...
Almost back to the grind…
Aug. 21, 2012—This post comes to you from the common room of my apartment-style dorm back at Vandy! I moved in on Saturday, and in true Vanderbilt style, a plethora of things have happened since.

This past weekend, I moved into my new apartment and I...
Home is Where the Heart Is: New Housing Next Semester!

OutDores
Feb. 26, 2012—Near the end of last year, as sophomore year housing was becoming an issue, I was offered a spot in a VIP (Vanderbilt Interest Project) by a friend of mine from ROTC. The VIP’s are a somewhat diluted version of the Mayfield Projects, with less group commitment in exchange for guaranteed housing in a less...
Mayfield Showcase
Dec. 1, 2011—As I’ve mentioned a few times before, I live in a Mayfield, which is like a small two-story house with ten people who each have their own room, share two bathrooms, a common room, and a kitchenette.
Dorm Living
Nov. 28, 2011—I went to boarding school, so this year is my 5th year living in dorms. I know that may sound like a scary thought to some, but they’re really not that bad. I promise.
