Vanderslice Reviews

Vandy is beautiful- great location, A/C, 8 mans, nice rooms, tall ceilings etc. BUT I think it is severely overrated. All the fun things happen in Walsh which gets annoying to walk to especially in the winter. The hallways always seem empty. The slowest elevator to ever exist.

Lived in an 8-man suite and loved the Vandy experience. The rooms have tall ceilings and are spacious for a double, and the common room is a great spot to relax and hang out with friends. Plus there are no rodents and it is a generally quiet/chill building! Vandy is right next to the dining hall and less than a ten minute walk to main campus, making this dorm really convenient for the busy student. Only downside is that the walls are thin, which is not a big deal. Highly recommend this dorm for prospective sophomores looking at housing options!

Best dorm for a sophomore. Bedrooms can be a little cramped, but plenty of common room space and the dorm itself is in good condition. Right next to Lower which makes meals quicker and easier.
