Life in Nashville for an international student

<p>“Southern,” “Very Southern,” and “Hillbilly” are all relative terms. As someone who comes from a small southern town and is at Vandy, it’s a much more urban environment that doesn’t NEARLY have the same atmosphere as home. But many people that I’ve met here that moved down from the northeast or east from California think that it’s SOOOO different. But there’s something for everyone here: if you don’t want to be involved with southern culture and country music, you can avoid it pretty easily, but if you like it, it’s there.</p>
