Bristol West End

Overall bristol is a great place to live- we have a beautiful apartment that is 15 minutes walk to campus. We have a pool, gym, and lots of other classmates in the building to see! My only complaint is the management company- they can be unresponsive and are not always receptive to changes.

Bristol is very close to Eskind - a 10-15 minute walk or you can get on the shuttle right across the street and that takes about 5 mins. Because of the location and reasonable rent for a very nice place, a lot of med students live in the building. This gives a built-in community that is really nice to lean on when there is a lot of studying to do and you don't have time to go out but still want to hang out with friends for a little while.

Has a gym, pool, very close to campus

Great, comfortable apartments close to campus

Best place to live for vandy med students! Can’t beat the convenience. Lived 3/4 years and would highly recommend to all incoming students.

Walking distance to school

I'm really happy with my apartment. It's close to Vanderbilt's campus and there are a fair number of quick, easy restaurants within walking distance. There's a pool, gym, on-site recycling, and in-unit laundry. I ended up selecting this property because the quality of appliances/amenities and proximity to campus. I've been very happy living there. It's relatively quiet and a safe neighborhood. There are a lot of medical students who live in the apartments/condos.

You can get the shuttle right to the medical center or you can take a short walk! Very convenient!

Bristol is a great spot because is it a nice apartment at a reasonable price for Nashville (~1000 pp with roomates including parking), it is close to school (10 min walk or take the shuttle directly across the street), and it is an easy spot for a lot of the class to live in which makes a great community of classmates.

Pros:
Great location! Vanderbilt's Blue Route shuttle stops in the parking lot right in front of the building, making the door-to-door commute between BWE and EBL only 10 minutes. The Vanderbilt rec center, conveniently located right across that same parking lot, is also only a 5-minute walk from the apartment. Another thing is that because a large number of med students live at BWE, it's easy to randomly run into other students.

Cons:
The price is inflated because of the ideal location, and there is not a garbage/recycling room on every floor. If you want to dispose of garbage or recycling, you need to go down to the first floor/garage, which can be a hassle, especially if you live on the top floor like me. Also, the resident mailboxes are located at the back of the garage, making it inconvenient to check mail frequently.
