Raleigh and the surrounding make up the Raleigh Durham Triangle, one of the fastest growing areas and economies in the country. This makes finding that all-important job to stretch the student loans easy enough. The 1.5 million people in the extended area also mean that there are innumerable options for things to do when tired of pounding the books.
With ten universities and colleges in the city, and more in the surrounding area, it's also true that many recreational options are either aimed at or populated by other students: a real advantage for those looking for a vibrant social and extracurricular life outside of the classroom.
