Student Life
Most Owen students live off campus, but on campus they have a wide variety of opportunities to meet other students. Owen-related groups sponsor everything from Thursday night socials to community service activities to the Capitalist Ball (a black-tie event). A sense of community is important to faculty, staff, and students. The Student Recreation Center offers facilities for basketball, squash, racquetball, and indoor swimming; there are tennis courts and an outdoor track.
The Vanderbilt University campus, designated as a national arboretum, is near downtown Nashville. There is a long, cordial relationship between Nashvillians and students at the university, and the city encourages students to take advantage of arts events—from Nashville Symphony concerts to Broadway plays in the Tennessee Performing Arts Center—sporting events (the Titans NFL team or the Predators NHL team), numerous parks, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, golf courses, restaurants, and shops.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The whole life of an American is passed like a game of chance, a revolutionary crisis, or a battle.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
