Homewood Suites by Hilton Nashville Vanderbilt

It's the one vandy will pay for if you need finaid

tender radish

If you go there then just walk a bit past the elevators to your left on entry

hexed shale
tender radish
#

tender radish

If you choose to go to that hotel the room with all the merch is just to your left past the elevators

#

how is vandy with aid for intl

hexed shale
#

but they're scholarship based and winning them is tough

buoyant mortar
#

im intl on financial aid

#

also have a couple of friends who are

#

obviously its way harder to get in as intl with financial aid but what ive noticed is that they look for people who they think are a really good fit to the university based on essays and not necessarily being cracked

#

but obviously u have to have really good grades and everything else

#

but the actually CRACKED people get the merit scholarships

hexed shale
#

TIL that vandy is naming their new cs school the college of connected computing

#

COCC

#

My school is building a huge cocc right now 😎

versed cobalt
#

cant risk an argument

buoyant mortar

hexed shale
