Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


Love Raleigh, was very difficult to leave!
Star Rating - 11/8/2006
I loved Raleigh/Durham, though I only lived there for a short 8 months. Not nearly long enough, and I fully plan on going back once finished with college!
The perfect blend of city convenience and southern hospitality. Lots to do, friendly people (your neighbors actually acknowledge your existance - a vast improvement from Seattle!), and a safe place to raise a family or carve a living. Affordable housing, not packed together like sardines, and the climate is very, very nice! Distinct seasons, though not too much in the ways of extremes.
School system is very good for the most part, though I never had the pleasure of experienceing it.
Overall, the best city I've ever lived in.
