Went to school at Duke and in-law's live in Raliegh
you want to choose where you live based on where you will be working. traffic around the triangle is a disaster though local traffic is bearable. pat is right cary/north raleigh is yuppy zone, very crowded and pricey.
chapel hill/durham near duke forest can be much better values though commuting to RTP from there is nightmarish (40 is a parking lot at rush hour). Be warned it's a small town compared to Boston - that could either be a good thing or bad thing depending on your POV.
I enjoyed my college years though there is limited night life outside of the college areas of town (either raliegh, chapel hill or durham).

FYI....People who move to NC rarely want to leave....>>>
Cost of living, climate etc will be much nicer than the Boston Gig. I've done the big city too (Phila, LA, Atlanta) and it's better here. One of the guys who used to work for me and has lived all over the country spent a few years in the R/D area then moved to LA. Of all the places he's lived, here was his favorite. He's retiring early and moving back. For what it's worth!

Amen, man.
I spent two years there in grad school and would love to move back. The only thing that may ruin it is all these people moving there 
Seriously, I had a job interview with a big wig at the NC Dept of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources a few years ago. Her opinion of the biggest environmental problem facing the state: not the hog farms or the dead fishes in the Neuse River ... urban sprawl.
