   Well, the job market in general isn't great here, as with most places, but being an environmental engineer might not be so bad. I would imagine that government jobs are a possibility (including local and state, since the capital is Raleigh), and ther...

   My knowledge of Baltimore comes solely from the Wire, so I'll just describe Durham. With two Duke (soon to be three) hospitals in Durham (and one in Raleigh) as well as UNC hospitals down the road in Chapel Hill and a few other hospitals over in Rale...

   Last year the Gators (football) were on network TV or ESPN just about every week, so I just watched at home. There seem to be a lot of UF alumni/fans in the Triangle but, unfortunately, no Gator bar to watch the games. North Carolina even has a Unive...

   Hi Kelly, Like Abbie said, the Washington Duke Inn is a nice hotel on campus. They have an afternoon tea that you and your mom could attend. There is also a Marriott downtown that probably has good rates. If you want something a little more unique, t...
