About Nashville

Nashville rests in the Cumberland River basin, its periphery rimmed with gentle, wooded hills. The metropolitan area, encompassing over one million people and 532 square miles, has long been known as a center of banking, finance, music, publishing, and insurance. Favored for its key location in the rapidly developing Sunbelt region, Nashville offers unique professional, cultural, and recreational opportunities.

Nashville is the state capitol and government agencies constitute a substantial portion of the city¹s economic base. In addition, the city has two major medical centers: Vanderbilt and Meharry Medical College, where the study of medicine is enhanced by Nashville¹s status as a regional medical center for the Southeastern states. Sixteen colleges and universities attract more than thirty thousand students to Nashville from the United States and around the world. Vanderbilt is the best known of these institutions, which form a broad, influential community of higher education and earn Nashville the nickname ³Athens of the South.²

Cultural life is greatly enriched by the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, with auditorium facilities for the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Nashville Repertory Theatre, and a great variety of other theatrical and musical performances. Nashville's lovely terrain, a mild climate, and numerous recreational opportunities further enhance the quality of life. Its public park system, covering over 6,000 acres, is widely acclaimed as one of the nation¹s finest.
