Question about the Nashville area

Colleges and Universities A-Z Vanderbilt University

<p>Hi, I wasn't quite sure where to post this topic (open for suggestions!) but I figured it applied to Vanderbilt too.</p>

<p>I'm an Australian student and I'm planning on applying to Vanderbilt University at the end of next year, and I just got accepted for a month long exchange program to a high school in Nashville, departing early next year. </p>

<p>What's the Nashville culture like? I know it's the "music city" and the home of country music etc etc, but what is it like to live and go to school there? Any tips for what I should expect on the exchange in Nashville? What's the culture like? What are kids into, etc.? </p>

<p>Open ended question, but I was hoping for some prepatory advice before travelling halfway across the world alone to Nashville, and it applies just as much for people looking to attend Vandy. I can't seem to find anything of the sort in other places. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>Here’s one old thread that refers to even older threads about things to do in Nashville. If you do some searching in the VU forum, you’ll find many threads about Nashville. There have also been some in the Parents Forum and Parent Cafe along the way. Hope you enjoy your time there:)</p>
