Raleigh
Known at “The City of Oaks” and situated in the center of North Carolina, Raleigh is known as one of the cornerstones of the Triangle, together with Durham and Chapel Hill. The Triangle as a whole is abundant with education (eight major colleges are located here), superior healthcare facilities, cultural activities that rival those of any big metropolis, a moderate climate, and plenty – yes, plenty – to give residents a chance to see, play and do.
