After the First Year
After the first year, students will continue living in a residential college, join a living-learning community or move into a traditional residence hall.
Students who continue with the residential college program will move to an upper-division house, where they can remain for the rest of their time as Vanderbilt undergraduates. This enables students to participate in continued programming and form a tight-knit community.
³Õ²¹²Ô»å±ð°ù²ú¾±±ô³Ù’sÌýliving-learning communities provide opportunities for students with similar educational interests to live together in residence halls. Each community is typically sponsored by an academic department, but students from any school or discipline are welcome.
There also are 12 traditional residence halls available to students after their first year. The facilities are similar to the other residences, but they don’t have faculty heads or the same level of curated programming. Students in these traditional residences may also change their residence each year, rather than continuing to live with the same group.
While graduate and professional students have historically lived off campus, a new on-campus housing option for these students is under development and has an anticipated opening before the 2023–24 academic year. Featuring communal workspaces in addition to personal residences, the new accommodations will foster immersive learning beyond the classroom while offering convenient housing at a below-market rate.
In the meantime, graduate and professional students can continue to use ³Õ²¹²Ô»å±ð°ù²ú¾±±ô³Ù’sÌý to browse advertisements by landlords looking specifically for Vanderbilt-affiliated tenants, as well as those from Vanderbilt students looking for roommates.
