I drove to Memphis from Atlanta last weekend and stopped off in Nashville to see Vanderbilt. I had been there once before to tour the law school. While the law school is rather boring, the rest of campus is great.

I have to defend my law school now. If you take time to step inside, they actually did a great job with the renovation. That angle you took isn't much. But, the glass wall on the north side overlooking the quad as is the entry way. The interior is a combination of the old 60's-style with modern additions. For a law school, it is actually quite nice and breaks from the traditional hall model. I might suggest you tour some other ones to realize just how much of a gem Vandy's law school really is in both style and facilities.

I have toured the inside of the law school. Of all the law schools I toured, Vanderbilt's facility was indeed one of THE nicest. Very clean, well designed and high quality. I was very impressed with the inside. You're absolutely right that there are many law schools that are just dogs on the inside. My law schools classrooms are nasty, i wish they were as nice as Vandy's. But the library itself is a great design. I just think that Vanderbilt's architectural design is just kinda plain. But, it's better to be a bit more plain and conservative and very nice, than just a concrete box and nasty (see USC, BYU etc.)
