See you around on campus!

how is Vandy for civil engineering? As I got admitted to Vanderbilt University for master's of engineering in civil engineering?

Be careful more than a couple blocks from campus. I wouldn't walk anywhere alone. Be careful around Music City and the arena, there's like 5 homeless shelters in a 2-3 block radius. Honestly, you'll probably spend most of your time on campus. It's really nice. You'll spend a lot of time walking by the Parthenon. You'll know it when you see it. And if you go to any football games, don't be shocked when 80% of the fans are wearing the colors of the visiting team. The fanbases of all other SEC teams outnumber Vanderbilt's fans considerably. Edit: If my post seems out of place, forgive me. I was looking for the Vanderbilt-Ole Miss baseball game.

You touched on the engineering / cs and software engineering. Do you feel like Vanderbilt also lacks resources for mechanical engineering majors? It was initially on my list because I heard it was one of the best schools for engineering.

I’m not too sure about MechE, as most of my friends are in CS. But in general Vandy isn’t very strong in engineering. You can go on LinkedIn and network some current Vandy MechE students to ask about it.

What is Vandy like for Communications? I'm an international student who is very interested in applying here

Hi Lucy, I'll probably make a separate video on Vandy engineering later! I think Vandy's high ranking dictates that a degree from it will NOT look bad on your resume for most companies, and most of my classmates in CS/Engineering do get excellent offers post graduation. The thing is the curriculum and experience kinda sucks... You won't be able to take as many cutting edge exciting classes, and most CS classes we provide here are just mediocar (basic Java, C++, algorithm). Resume-wise it looks good (though not as good as CMU's CS for sure), but it depends on what you want to get out of college.

Hi Christine, I'm weighing vandy against umich now. I plan to declare a CS major but like u said I'm not 100% sure of my future and my interest. Do u have any suggestions? Vandy's small class size is attractive to me but it's relatively weak cs program makes me hesitant.

@@allisonjiang2703 I chose umich and I feel really good about it right now. It turns out that umich has a lot of excellent profs and A LOT IAs (undergrad teaching assistant) which actually made those cs class not that crowded. Of course it would still be more crowded than class of school like vandy, but def better than I imagined. Profs are nice and there's a lot resources. However, I have to admit I'm a little bit nerdy so umich feels good to me. If you are more like a people person, vandy might have more greek like and social events. At the end of the day it's just a personal choice.

Dream school!!

Hi Rawan! The BME major is by nature consisting of a wide spectrum of topics, from building prosthetic limbs to studying the migration of cancer cells. Thus, like many other schools, the first one year and a half prepare you with the basic knowledge. After that, there will be many cool topic-specific classes, where a few of my favorites are signal processing (many hands-on practices in MATLAB where the result of work can be visualized) and instrumentation (a self-designed semester project in the end). This is also the opportunity to take electives according to interest. In the senior year BME students complete a graduate design project as an ending. Research-wise it is hard to name everyone doing cool stuff in the BME department, but you can find more info on the school website. It is very easy for even freshmen to do research in VU or VUMC (VU Medical Center) and further develop interest in a topic.

I thought Vanderbilt was strong in computer science- it’s ranked, is this not the case?

@christinezhou

2 жыл бұрын

Because of its overall ranking, the computer science program is ranked pretty high too. My opinion was based on personal experience: the classes were out-of-date, and as someone who just finished the Vandy CS program and entered the industry, I definitely feel they could’ve improved their curriculum a lot to help prepare students for jobs. :)
