Ask any student where the party is and they’ll tell you.  At least one or two houses will have a band party and they’re all open to everyone.  Take your own booze and just leave it in the car.  Cops are cool just be careful driving drunk.

 right on campus and really close to the parties.  Cheap rooms and great lawn.

Lawn Parties

get out and enjoy the sun with the students.  On Fridays and Saturdays, the fraternity houses have great lawn parties with music and bars- especially happenin on home football or soccer weekends.

Disk Golf Course

great course right in the middle of campus- kick off the shoes, grab a smoke, and enjoy the sun dresses as they leave class..

Hike/cave/climb on or near campus: get out and enjoy the views

Sewanee is on a plateau so there are great views off of the Mountain.  The campus is about 12,000 acres so there’s plenty of room to explore.  Ask anyone for recommendations- there are tons of great hikes and you will likely see other students on the trail any weekend. Two of the most popular are the Piney Point and Shake Rag Hollow.  Don’t miss sunset at the Cross either!

Sewanee Golf Course

Nothing fancy but fun to play.. don’t miss the chance to crush a drive over the bluff and off the reservation, I mean Mountain.  Round costs about $20 and there are carts to keep things moving.

Vanderbilt’s Rites of Spring concert, or “Rites” as VU students like to call it, is an annual concert series hosted on campus to celebrate…you guessed it…the start of spring.

It is hosted on Alumni Lawn which also plays host to Vanderbilt Graduation and other large events. It is the perfect area because it is in the center of campus and surrounded by picturesque trees. In the past, Rites has hosted big name bands creating an excuse for students to have a 3-day party instead of studying for finals.
