Welcome to Nashville

Nashville, Tennessee, is Belmont University’s home. Nashville is a rare place that combines big-city charisma and small-town charm to create an enriching experience for Belmont students. In the 19th century, Nashville earned the nickname “Athens of the South” for its numerous higher education institutions. This nickname holds true today as it is home to 16 colleges and universities in the metropolitan area. Nashville also holds a more recognizable nickname as “Music City” with performance halls, studios, and clubs everywhere you turn.

A vibrant city, Nashville is Tennessee’s state capital and is a major urban, government, and not-for-profit center. It is also home to a variety of business industries, including printing and publishing, health care management, insurance, tourism, banking, and advertising and media. Nashville is music, sports, culture, quiet parks, and big business—and the people here greet you with a smile.
