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.
