Hi! I haven't started looking for places yet. I have an 18-year-old car that (knock on wood!) has been pretty reliable. But, then, I've never driven it across the country either! I'm going to have a mechanic take a look at it before I decide if it's a wise idea. Being without a car would certainly limit where I could live in Nashville. In any case, I'm hoping to find a roommate who'd like to live near Hillsboro Village or Belmont. Otherwise, there are lots of apartments near the east side of campus. Right now I'm thinking mid-August. How about you two? Matthew

Hi there! There's a couple of us in the SLP forum heading to Vanderbilt. Since we'll be in the same department, perhaps you'd like to come join our Cheers, Matthew

Yeah, it sounds like most of the voice electives take place during breaks between terms, so it will keep me busy! I did get to visit the department a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with their one-on-one training model as well as the abundant resources available to SLP students. I also took the chance to scope out a number of neighborhoods in Nashville and get a feel for the city. Have you been yet? It sounds like you have a perfect background for the field! I'm sure getting back into the rhythm of school will go just fine for you. Cheers, Matthew

Hi Olivia Michele, I am! I know you asked this a while ago, but I just made a those who have decided on Vanderbilt to introduce themselves. Looking forward to meeting you! Cheers, Matthew

Hi ladyinwaiting, good to hear from you! I very nearly accepted an offer at a Boston school because I was so taken with the city, but I think Vanderbilt's program is the better fit for me. I play the harpsichord and other keyboards and particularly love working with singers (one of the reasons for my interest in the voice track). What did you study in undergrad? Cheers, Matthew

Hello! I've been lurking here for a while, but now that my decision is made, I'd like to connect with my future classmates. Who else is going to Vanderbilt this fall? Just a little about myself: I'm coming to the MS-SLP from out of major. I studied French at UC Davis in my home state of California. I recently moved back to the States after working as an ESL teacher in France for a few years. Like many of you, I'm a musician, so if it's baroque, don't fix it. I chose Vanderbilt for its medical setting and for its voice specialty track, which I will be entering. Looking forward to hearing from you! Matthew
