Around Town

There is a local drive in movies, and the downtown life is right around the corner.

There are many campus activities such as intermural sports and movie nights hosted by the school. They even plan trips to other cities for sporting events and to simply get away for the weekend.

VI probably has more to go see rather than to go do off-campus. There are caverns and beautiful places to visit nearby, but I'm not sure how much there is to go do for fun. You can always get to know a local student and see what they have to say. There are plenty of movie theaters, including a handful of drive ins. VI always has a student activity going on.

There are plenty of activities provided by student activities each month. There are bowling allies, NASCAR and drag racing, a movie theater and drive in movie, restaurants, concerts, Rhythm and Roots festival, State Street, frozen yogurt, Bristol White Sox games..ect. A lot of people attend our sporting events and support our athletes.

State Street (5 minute walk) has tons of little stores and coffee shops. Exit 7 is also really popular with food and a movie theater. Johnson City is only 30 minutes away which is good for shopping. Gatlinburg and Boone are both an hour and a half away which are nice for weekend getaways.

The school is located within walking distance of the Virginia/Tennessee state line/state street. There are a lot of restaurants, antique stores and art galleries along state street along with other small hometown shops. Bristol is part of the Tri Cities (Kingsport/Johnson City) and theses place offer other shopping and activities options.
