NCCU is located in the triangle area (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill). So, it's a prime location to find a (good) job, lots of big and medium sized companies, schools etc.....very nice place for young singles or for raising a family. Not gonna lie...Central is not in the best of neighborhoods but it is what it is. Nevertheless, its a great school and I made the right decision to attend. .....just finished my first year:)
