One of the great things about Nossi is its location in Nashville. With so many events around town, there is always something exciting to get involved in. Whether you’re a music lover, an outdoor type, a foodie or just looking for some fun, Nashville is ready to get you involved.

Being in Nashville, we not only encourage our students to take advantage of the city’s creative community in their free time, we also get them involved for school work. From events like the ICM Awards to one of Nashville’s most popular radio stations, 107.5 The River, students get the opportunity to work with industry professionals and have their work seen by the public.

The close proximity to Nashville’s music scene is a major incentive for Nossi students. The history of music—from country to the ever-evolving indie and everything in between—makes this city come alive with creativity. With classic venues like the Ryman, Exit/In and The Bluebird Café, it’s easy to catch a show every night of the week if you want to take a break from work and soak in some inspiration.

With the multiple art museums, theaters, festivals and monthly art crawls, students can fill their weekends by seeing a show, checking out local art galleries or walking around town in one of Nashville’s district festivals.

While the hustle and bustle of big-city streets brings an excitement to the creative process, we sometimes need to retreat to the quiet and contemplate our work. Nashville is full of greenways, parks and riverfronts that are perfect for quiet afternoons to enjoy and experience natural beauty.

Nashville is home to many major colleges and universities. That means, no matter what area of town Nossi students spend their time in, like-minded college students will always surround them. The possibilities for fun and collaborations are limitless.
