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."

  • 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.
