Worst of Vanderbilt University

Drug Scene

At first mention of drugs, I think of marijuana and cocaine, and I guess if you look for it you'll find it, but other than that it's not a big scene. Alcohol usage is pretty high, even though there are many students who op to stay out of this scene. If you want alcohol it's quite easy to get it, especially if you're a girl. Many students drink to get wasted rather than responsibly. Some may feel pressured to drink, but if you don't want to drink, for the most part everyone respects your decision and there's enough people who don't drink so you wouldn't feel left out.

Parking Sucks

Parking is inconvenient, expensive, and a hassle. Freshmen are not allowed to have cars on campus, though some get away with it by purchasing permits at nearby hotels. Upperclassmen parking has two options: convenient and expensive, or inconvenient and dirt cheap. The office of traffic and parking is a nightmarish, gestapo-like force that is always handing out parking tickets; sometimes you can see them standing in front of a meter that has only a minute left on its time writing the ticket for the exact moment when it expires.
