College Profile: Belmont University

I am a huge fan of Nashville. I went to school there, and then lived there again after law school. The city is vibrant and brimming with opportunity. Despite being most known as “Music City, USA,” it is also a fabulous college town. One great spot is Belmont University. This campus is simply gorgeous and centrally located in a fantastic part of town near Music Row. If you are interested in the music or show business industry, or the medical field, Belmont has particularly good programs in these areas. But it also offers endless opportunities in other fields, as well.
