MUSIC CITY, USA

With more than 1.3 million residents—including 43,000 students enrolled in the city’s eight colleges and universities—Nashville boasts attractions such as museums, restaurants, and parks amid a beautiful landscape. And Owen students enjoy becoming involved across the community in civic and charitable causes that improve life here for years to come.

As Tennessee’s capital city, Nashville is a vital business center with booming industries including healthcare, music, manufacturing, printing, and distribution. Companies with corporate headquarters or major facilities here rely on three interstate highways and the conveniently located Nashville International Airport for doing business with their customers and partners. Two major convention centers and numerous trade shows draw thousands each year, contributing to the city’s dynamic pace.

Nashville is also home to professional sports, entertainment, and fun. The Tennessee Titans bring NFL action to the downtown riverfront, and the NHL’s Nashville Predators offer 40-plus home hockey games a year at Gaylord Entertainment Center. Vanderbilt’s sports teams are members of the highly competitive Southeastern Conference.
