LIVING IN "MUSIC CITY"
Nashville has been termed America's "It City" by the New York Times. Nashville is a vibrant, diverse and accessible place with a mild and pleasant climate. It is home to nearly 2 million residents, which lends it the convenience of a large, cosmopolitan city with an air of small town friendliness and low cost of living. Located a little more than a mile from downtown, students frequently cite Nashville as one of the many perks of highly ranked Vanderbilt University.
