And what is it you're applying for?
Anyway, depending on the answer to the above question (work? school? randomly choosing a place for sports fandom), what specific school it is will obviously make a huge difference -- but as for that part of the state as a place to be, it's pretty much every post Barb ever made about Jacksonville FL. Rocky Mount is a bit more depressed (it was originally a tobacco + manufacturing area, and both of those things are in a serious downturn in the last decade or so. Mass hog farming, on the other hand, is going strong.) Greenville is a little less so, because the town is dominated by ECU, which is (as Calli noted) a serious party school.
Also, if you come to the Durham/Chapel Hill area, we'll play with you.

RUN THE OTHER WAY!!
(Durham/Chapel Hill OTOH, pretty kewl.)
Sorry, amych! I'm still not completely caffeinated.
I'm just doing English and/or teaching English at the secondary level, but it sounds like Rocky Mount is probably not for me. A lot of things to consider, especially given that we really want to move this summer, and moving to the Triangle might be a risk if I don't know for sure I'd get into UNC. Hmmm.
Pretty Harvey!
Good luck to you, omnis!
Thank you, java. I think I'll go with St. Jude's donation in baby's name. Also, {{{java}}}
It's actually only been 4 years since Cass moved, because when she went PDX scouting, Lillian was 10 months old (there are pictures!), and she was moved within the month.

Which is half-way to ten! Which is close to 13!
YOUR CHILD IS PRACTICALLY A TEENAGER!

I was wondering about that, since I thought I was just coming up on 5 years myself.
Math is hard though, so I gave up trying to do it.

I told someone that Ellie would be 5 in two months the other day, and then almost passed out.
Amy, as someone who lived in NC for only two years, I would totally aim for the Triangle. I loved UNC even though I was only there for a year and was pregnant for a lot of that, so thus spent most of my time not hanging out with fellow students.
Still, beautiful. My one criticism of NC though is that it *really matters* where you are because it varies *a lot*.
grmph. I am so over this recuperation thing. It's the 21st Century! Where are the healing doohickeys that they wave over your owies and make everything feel better?
Well, connie, when they do that, they also inject you with weird radioactive alien drugs to track your every move.
