Greenville, North Carolina, is a college town. A great portion of the population is made up of college students at East Carolina University. It is also known for its hospital, the largest hospital in Eastern North Carolina. Because of this, there is also a sizeable population of doctors and specialists, most of whom are well off and live in large homes. However, the cost of living in the city is pretty low. On the other hand, while Greenville is a city, it is surrounded by very rural areas. There also are many underserved and low-income families. Fifty percent of children qualify for reduced-price or free lunches in public schools. Not much exciting goes on in Greenville; occasionally, there may be a small mention of the city on national news when a hurricane wreaks havoc on the area.

Greenville is a great city full of great places to shop. Greenville is also a good city to go to school there is also great parks and shopping centers. There is also a great place to work and is the college town good for so many college kids.

During summers in Greenville, North Carolina, the temperature easily reaches over 100F with mild rainstorm and humidity. During wintertime, the forecast is more mild, with temperatures staying in the mid 40s and 50s. Greenville is inland and is about an hour or so from a large city. There is minimal social life and ability to meet people, as Greenville is a relatively small city. However, there are several restaurants and gyms where one can interact and meet new people. If you are looking for warm climate with moderate winters, affordable housing, and a secluded location than I highly recommend moving to Greenville, North Carolina.

While it’s a smaller city, it does have its benefits to visiting. The most major college in Eastern NC is located here, and a hospital that is a host to the Brody School of Medicine. It’s mildly strange since it’s an older city that’s getting an abundance of construction done, so half of it looks old while the other half looks unfinished.

Moving to a town like Greenville can be boring. The town has a small population strongly grounded in the bible belt and southern traditions. Greenville, North Carolina, is primarily known for its healthcare and university (East Carolina University) with very few opportunities for minorities.
