| Maryville College's 350-acre campus is ideally located in the quiet and safe town of Maryville, Tennessee. Recently, the weekly television series A&E Top 10 identified Maryville as a city that "has it all" while the National Strategy Group named it one of "America's Select Cities." Home to over 25,000 residents, Maryville offers both the convenience of shopping malls, restaurants and entertainment facilities along with the picturesque views of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park located 20 minutes east of campus. Regarded as one of the most beautiful areas of the United States, the Great Smoky Range of the Appalachian Mountains offers ample opportunities for both visitors and residents alike to go hiking, camping, fishing, and whitewater-rafting. Maryville is located only 20 minutes south of Knoxville, the third-largest city in Tennessee with 300,000 people and with a dynamic night life of discos, clubs, coffeehouses, music concerts and theater. The major cities of Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Orlando and New Orleans are all within a day's drive. |
