Greenville, NC is in the middle of nowhere, flat and uninteresting, has a "party school" campus of the NC University system, close to the "Outer Banks", (not to be confused with "the beach", the Outer Banks are windswept and desolate). Greenville NC is good for hunting, fishing, flying kites, and drinking cheap beer in student bars; it has no redeeming features. ..... Also unnecessarily close to my in-laws.

And hey, Pulaski, Greenville NC isn't that bad - though it's certainly not a suitable option for the OP.

Yes, it was your post about Greenville North Carolina that I was responding to in both of my posts. I never mentioned Greenville South Carolina - stop confusing me!

Some of the states in the 'Deep South' are not particularly known for academic excellence. You can find gems of schools anywhere, but your overall pickings might be better in some states rather than others.
