Raleigh’s active arts scene is supported by the N.C. Museum of

through campus. The city’s extensive parks system makes it easy

to enjoy the great outdoors—and the beach and the mountains

are both just a short drive away.

a big city, but it feels like a small town. There are lots

of opportunities—and people in Raleigh are very diverse
