Review of Greenville, North Carolina


Oh, stay away
Star Rating - 6/21/2013
I mistakenly moved to Greenvul 10 yrs ago for a job at the hospital. I was tricked, as on the surface, it seemed a decent place to live. If you want to step back in time 100 yrs politically, socially, and culturely, move here. If you want to be bored out of your mind, move here. I you want to be judged by your last name, marital status, and where you were born, move here. If you are single---its a nightmare. NO SINGLE activities for anyone over 22. If your want to be surrounded by racists --this is your town. If you love 100% humidity and bugs galore, this is your city. If you like to dodge bullets by just driving across town...come to Greenville for sure. Its MISERABLE. Do not get stuck here.

I could not agree more. I moved there in 10/14 for a nursing job at the hospital and regretted it within weeks. It lacks all culture and there were very few friendly people there. I felt out of place in most places I went to as a 40 something Caucasian women. The only thing this town has going for it is the university . Very sad looking place to boot. Stayed 4 months and moved back to Pittsburgh. It was a bad move on my part. Please check out the crime statistics before making this move. One cannot go to the any of the 2 walmarts in town after dark.
