Coming to North Carolina from New Jersey was quite an adjustment for me. Here are a few things that I found NC to be different:
- BBQ is not hamburgers and hot dogs; it is a pig.
- They love their grease here so be careful indulging if you are not used to fried food
- There is no hurry in the south; Northeast drivers have to slow down
- People here are incredibly nice!
Getting around is easy too even if you do not bring a car. There are numerous cab companies and easy access to Raleigh buses. NC State pays for NCSU students to use the Raleigh transit buses for free. Also, there is a train station a few miles East of campus and RDU Airport is about a 15 minute drive west.
