Raleigh, NC
NC State University is situated in the heart of Raleigh, a vibrant and urban southern city with a small-town sensibility. Known as the City of Oaks, you’ll find plenty of tree-lined sidewalks and lush green parks here—but you’ll also find great restaurants, world-class museums and a thriving downtown district.
Perhaps you’ll come to Raleigh for the education, but you’ll stay for the opportunities. North Carolina’s capital city is located in the heart of the state’s Triangle region and minutes from world-renowned Research Triangle Park, the largest research park in the world and home to industry giants like IBM, Cisco, GlaxoSmithKline, Lenovo, Nortel Networks, Sony Ericsson and others. It’s easy to see why Raleigh and the surrounding region are consistently rated among the best places to live and work in the United States.
