Tennessee

When you choose to attend a college or university in Tennessee, you'll choosing a state filled with nature and culture galore. And that's thanks in part to the capital of Tennessee, Nashville. While other capital cities are known for the political or economic importance, Nashville has emerged as a center of the music industry over the years. Well-known for its contributions to country music, Nashville boasts the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum - but it's also had an impact on Christian pop music and Jazz over the years.

Other notable areas within Tennessee include the major cities of Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. Of course, Tennessee also has plenty of natural and historical beauty to boast. Attending a college or university in Tennessee will allow you to visit the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, the Fort Donelson National Battlefield, and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
