About Raleigh and the Research Triangle
NC State University anchors the Research Triangle region, home of many of the country’s leading Fortune 500 technology, research and pharmaceutical companies, as well as other fine universities, with whom we share uniquely collaborative relationships. National rankings consistently rate Raleigh and its surrounding region among the five best places in the country to live and work, with a highly educated workforce, moderate weather, reasonable cost of living and a welcoming environment. Raleigh is situated in a lovely part of the state, with the Atlantic Ocean two hours to the east, and the Blue Ridge Mountains three hours to the west. North Carolina’s rapid growth makes the state a diversity leader and top spot for young professionals and families. Raleigh reflects statewide growth as a city on the rise:

• No. 3 among the best places to live in the U.S. (U.S News & World Report, 2023-2024)
• No. 2 among the best-performing large cities in the U.S. (Milken Institute, 2024)
• One of America’s top 10 recession-resistant cities (Smartasset, 2020)
• Among the top 10 “Best Cities to Move to Right Now” (Curbed, 2020)
  With Durham and Chapel Hill, the capital city anchors the Research Triangle, a national hotspot for high-tech enterprise. The region’s top companies-including IBM, Cisco Systems, SAS Institute, Biogen, and GlaxoSmithKline-rank among the country’s best employers. NC State also maintains strong agricultural partnerships with Bayer, BASF, and Syngenta, companies that lead the way in hiring new NC State graduates.
