Vanderbilt University Top Questions

Tell us about the sports scene on campus.

Football is the university's big-money sport. Vandy has a history of students not going to the games but that is definitely changing with James Franklin. The focus on Saturdays is still tailgating but more people are going to the games. (The tailgating is the best part of fall semester, by the way. Huge parties.) Basketball is a different story. The student section is always packed, especially when Kentucky or Tennessee comes to town. We're more competitive in basketball too so it's a lot of fun. Intramural sports are very popular too. Their is a fraternity cup that all the guys take very seriously, but you don't have to be in a fraternity to have fun doing intramurals. It's an active campus that likes going to the gym and staying fit.
