About the Area

The University

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, NC State University is a unit of the Consolidated University of North Carolina system. Long known as a center of research and teaching in engineering, agriculture, textiles, forestry, architecture, business management, and the humanities and social sciences, NCSU has earned an international reputation for excellence.

The City

In 1994, Raleigh was rated as the most desirable place to live in the United States by two major international business surveys, and has since retained a high ranking.

Known for its educational and cultural institutions, Raleigh and the surrounding area boast outstanding universities (NC State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University). There are many excellent smaller universities, colleges and cultural attractions such as the North Carolina Museum of History, Museum of Natural Sciences, Museum of Art, and the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra.

With miles of beautiful, unspoiled beaches and two national seashores, the Atlantic Ocean is a two hour drive to the east. Located a few hours drive to the west are the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Washington DC is only a five hour trip by car. Frequent flights and economically priced air fares make side trips to many exciting locations such as Orlando, Florida or Nashville, Tennessee convenient and affordable.
