Both Bristols are part of the Tri-Cities metropolitan area with a total population of nearly 450,000. Bristol is known as the "Birthplace of Country Music." It's also home of the Bristol Motor Speedway, which attracts thousands of people to the area each year for NASCAR races on the world's fastest half-mile track.

• Shop the specialty stores and coffeehouses along State Street
• Absorb some culture at The Paramount Center of the Arts, Theater Bristol, and Viking Hall Civic Center, offering everything from rock concerts to ballet

Campus: 135 wooded acres and Georgian-style architecture buildings provide a quiet, beautiful learning environment that's just two minutes away from bustling downtown Bristol.
