<p>just wondering, what's the area surrounding the campus like? i know many people say that there are enough activities on campus to occupy your time, but is there a cinema around for instance?</p>
<p>there is a nice movie theatre (Northgate Stadium 10) within walking distance of east campus - it's at Northgate Mall. There's also the Carolina Theatre, which is an independent theatre. Ninth Street is close to east campus and it has a lot of restaurants, pubs, and night clubs, so that's where most people go on weekend nights. also, if you have transportation available you can go to Southpoint mall which is about 15 mins away - it's reallllly nice and it has a movie theatre as well. hope this helps!</p>
