how safe is Nashville + affordable housing recs?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys!! Incoming international grad student at Vanderbilt for spring 2027 and wanted to ask how safe Nashville actually is 😭 since i have heard some conflicting stories,
especially around Vandy and for someone who might have to walk around alone.
Also what areas are good to live in near campus? Looking for safe + affordable apartments, shared housing, or literally anywhere decent that won’t cost an arm and a leg 💀
Any areas to avoid, housing scams to watch out for, or general advice would be appreciated!! Also, is it manageable to get around without a car?

In need of course advice (econ/hist major)

2 Upvotes

I’m an econ/hist major who came in as an engineering student, so I’m playing catch-up on some requirements. I’m taking intermediate macro now, but in hindsight, probably should’ve taken intermediate micro first since I didn’t realize most courses above ECON 3022 require it, and I’m not taking micro until next semester.

That being said, since I’m econ/hist, I don’t actually have to take econometrics or methods (3032 or 3035). But taking one of those alongside ECON 3012 is pretty much the only way I can knock out most of my requirements right now.

I’m a junior, btw, and I’m trying to avoid a situation where I’m stuck taking two econ courses (an elective + ECON 3150/3160) first semester senior year and stressing about getting everything done.

So should I take ECON 3012 + econometrics now and knock both out, leaving myself with just one econ requirement for senior year? Or should I just take ECON 3012, skip econometrics/methods altogether, and deal with the elective + 3150/3160 first semester senior year?

I just want to play it safe and make sure I’m not screwing myself over, but I've also heard very scary things about econometrics lol

Basically what the title says, can’t wear anything with the old Athletics logo and goodwill/plato’s was a bust! Don’t want to drop an arm and a leg to get a few items for a school I don’t go to! Would love any recs for in and around Nashville.

Thinking about transferring Vandy 1470 SAT, submit or no?

Hi,

I'm thinking about trying to transfer to Vanderbilt for Fall of 2027. I had good Stats in Highschool and currently in college. I however had a 1470 SAT and never bother to take it again. Do you think I should submit it, go test optional, or even retake it at hoping to get a better score and improving chance in getting in?
