<p>…and Vandy has happier students than those northeast elite U’s. Nashville is far more cosmopolitan and metropolitan than Durham, Charlottesville, Winston-Salem and Davidson but you don’t hear those adjectives attached to those smaller cites in the south.
Nashville is the center of art, culture, music, TV shows, NFL, and government for the state and region. Nashville is a leader for academic and private healthcare. There are about 20 colleges and universities in the area so lots young adults, educated entrepreneurs, and Ph.D’s call Nashville home. About 6 million tourists save money all year so they can vacation in Nashville. So ditch the old stereotypes and go visit Vandy and Nashville and see what you think.</p>
