i just visited Charlotte for the first time this weekend (i know i know, after 7 years of North Carolina living you would think i would have ventured out there by now) and i absolutely love it there. i'm looking at grad schools and UNCC seems to have what i'm looking for plus i can start as early as January (so my insurance doesn't cut my butt off).
i stayed primarily in South Charlotte, which is a very nice area. it's very suburban like, with lots of new development and it's very family oriented. plus there's a lot to do with shopping centers and South Park (one of their malls which includes a Nordstroms) not being that far away.
pretty much no matter where you end up, i think that you will enjoy North Carolina. i moved here 7 years ago from Texas and trust me i didn't want to move (we had only been in Dallas for one year and had lived in NJ beforehand). but i fell in love with the Southern charm and the weather and i can't see myself anywhere else. i'm trying my hardest to stay in North Carolina for as long as i can.
