Are you ready to experience Nashville?

Robbie, did you know that Nashville just took the crown from Memphis as the largest city in Tennessee? In fact, Forbes.com ranked Tennessee’s capital city of Nashville #7 on the 2018 list of America’s Fastest Growing Cities. The numbers don’t lie, this is an incredible place to live. 

One of our city’s nicknames, “Athens of the South,” comes from the fact that we are home to 24 post-secondary educational institutions, making it one of the best places to learn and grow.

The Food: Music City will make your taste buds dance and sing. Hot chicken is a Nashville food staple but maybe you prefer an eclectic mix of fresh and local offerings from one of our many food trucks. From Southern fare to specialty cuisine, if food is your thing, you’ve come to the right city. 

Sporting Events: Catch a souvenir homerun ball after a Nashville Sounds game or roar with the Titans crowd at Nissan Stadium. You can be a spectator at one of the many professional games in Nashville, or you can get into the action yourself at one of the many golf courses, recreational facilities, trailheads or races.

Nightlife: Take a night off from studying and have some fun downtown! There are hundreds of events hosted in Nashville annually. With a bustling music scene, late night clubs, venues and restaurants all within a safe commute to campus, you will never be at a loss for things to do with your friends.

Uncover the Arts: You’ll find the only full-scale reproduction of The Parthenon in Centennial Park, which brings ancient Greece historians from around the world to our city. Head over to the First Center for Visual Arts, the Downtown 5th Avenue art galleries, Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and more!
