Super-commuters of Vandy
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away... there lived the Vandy super-commuters.
For most Vandy students living on campus, their daily commute from dorm to class or various activities is quite reasonable. But for some- the “super-commuters” - it’s a whole different story. These select few reside in the legendary and distant Blakemore House (“Wait, is that actually on campus?”).
According one such super-commuter, Barbara, choosing to live in Blakemore entails a lot of extra walking and requires her to be more intentional in putting forth effort to spend time with friends. For her, though, the benefits outweigh the costs of living in such a faraway dorm. She is able to live with two close friends in a beautiful, newer building which is actually conveniently located for her involvement with band. All in all, her reviews were quite positive.
Would the benefits outweigh the costs for you? Will you be one of Vandy’s new super-commuters? Weigh your options and find out during this upcoming housing lottery.
