Is Kissam the best dorm at Vanderbilt?

I love Kissam. The community here is great and my double is extremely spacious. It also gets a ton of natural light which is really nice as well. The bathroom is nice, but some people just lack manners and leave it nasty but it’s ok. Food is mid but always edible in my opinion.

kissam has such great amenities and an amazing community! i really enjoy the events that both moore and warren put on and the constant interactions with other people in kissam. although it’s kind of far, it’s great to have a dining hall and munchie mart. my room is also v nice and spacious. only complaint is the shower head pressure is way too high

I really liked living at Kissam, it being so close to West End Avenue as well as 21st Avenue. Classes may be further than some of the other dorms, but I don’t mind the walk through the part of campus closer to Kissam as it is full of trees and pretty paths. I liked how the entire Kissam building is connected, so I won’t need to go outdoors for most of my daily chores / activities within Kissam.

Kissam gives off good new residential college vibes. The outside area and the munchie are nice, and there are a lot of windows that let in natural light. Some of the automatic doors can get jammed, but the rooms and hallways are clean and bright.

Kissam Warren College is one of the newer dorms on campus in a residential college system Vandy is starting to adopt, similar to that of Yale. Within Warren there are singles, doubles, and suites that range from 5-6 people where each person gets their own individual single and a shared suite restroom, common area, and kitchenette. The size of the suite is very spacious and the single rooms are a good balance of personal space, but also space for friends to come and lounge around. In every Residential College there is also a Munchie Mart/Dining Hall where you can utilize meal swipes to get to go entrees, snacks, and exclusive to Kissam Acai Bowls. I have really enjoyed my living experience thus far. My suite is really spacious and the private suite bathroom is an extra plus. I will say however that the process to get a suite is getting more competitive and is seniority based, so it might be harder to get into a suite.
