HIGHER EDUCATION IN JOHNSON CITY AREA

The colleges and professional schools here or near here give the Johnson City / Tri-Cities area an ambiance that one does not usually find in towns of this size, one of the things that makes people want to move to Johnson City.   We are proud of East Tennessee State University, Quillen College of Medicine, new School of Pharmacy, Milligan College, Northeast Tennessee College, and other nearby schools.  

Whether or not you will be using these facilities yourself, you will appreciate all they bring to this area, including the kind of people they attract for retirement or career moves.   Among the factors you use to evaluate a place before you buy real estate should certainly be the educational institutions in the area, for all these reasons.  

See Johnson City Schools for  links to public and private elementary and secondary schools, and some sites that evaluate them.
