Nashville On a Dime
Venkat Viswanathan is a first year MBA student from India. These are his tips for students just moving to Nashville and trying to save money.
During these last 4 months at Vandy, I have come to realize one thing. Things are not that different in the US if you are an international student. But some international students have a unique situation to deal with when they travel down to the U.S. Such as, what is the best way to live in the US on a shoestring budget? Listed below is some info we gleaned through prolonged pain and suffering but which (due to the whiteness of our hearts) we give away for free. PS: This post is only for those who are really so hard up that you can’t listen to Dire Straits without tearing up.
Full Circle
Just under 2 years ago I had the good fortune of being introduced, through the wonder that is Owen Orientation, to 8 of the coolest people. Introduced via Consuela-mail (no, that’s not the official term, but I’d like to see it *become* the official term) in the middle of the summer, our first official meeting was a tentative and semi-awkward Coffee Talk at the local Starbucks with 9 people trying to figure out exactly how the dynamic was going to work.
Being brand new business school students, our first collaboration was, of course, a major motion picture production (The VUsual Suspects, which is a story in and of itself). Over the weeks and months that followed we made our way through discounted cash flows, the black tie only “Midterm Celebratory Experience,” “factories brew!!,” little dogs in funny hats, broken legs, new career goals, “Real Men of Genius,” starting and growing a blog, new marriages, new relationships, old relationships, kids, and the wonder that is Froebenomics.
And now as the curtain begins to fall on our time here at the Owen School, Miss Kathleen made the wonderful suggestion of getting the band back together for one last hurrah. Last night, as our waiter Mark kept “firing” the family style dishes, we got together, shared a drink, and enjoyed each others’ company for another night.
