Housing
The staff and faculty in the Office of Biomedical Research
Education and Training would like to help make your move
to Nashville as stress-free as possible. If you have already
found a place to hang your hat, that's great. If not, although
we do not provide a housing service, we will gladly provide
you with general suggestions to assist you in your relocation.
If you are interested in renting an apartment, a couple
of good places to start your on-line search are: www.apartmentbluebook.com
and www.apartmentsnashvilletn.com.
You can also access the Tennessean’s classified section
via the internet at: www.tennessean.com.
Along with apartment information, the Tennessean, Nashville's
local newspaper, has listings for condominiums and homes
for rent/sale and other classified advertisements that may
be of interest to a new resident.
On-Campus
Parking
As is the case at most urban universities, parking is limited
at Vanderbilt. It would be wise to make parking arrangements
as soon as possible after you have made the decision to
study at Vanderbilt. For more information regarding parking
on campus, you may visit the Office of Traffic and Parking’s
web site at: www.vanderbilt.edu/traffic_parking.
