Exchange Student + Transportation to Raleigh

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

<p>Hi there, </p>

<p>My name is Omar, I am from Brazil, an next August I'll be starting a year long exchange program at UNC. I am here because I would like to contact current students to know a bit more of UNC and get some tips and advices on what to do, what NOT to do, the nice places to visit, and all that.</p>

<p>I also would like to know how difficult it is going to Raleigh from UNC Campus and then back. Is there a decent public transportation service? or a rent-a-car near the campus for any emergency?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any reply</p>

<p>Best regards from Brazil</p>

<p>Omar .</p>

<p>Boa tarde Omar.
Are you worried about getting to the airport or just generally visiting Raleigh itself?
There is a facebook page for Brasillians in the Triangle.

<p>Public transportation is excellent.</p>

<p>If you are wanting to go to Raleigh regularly, you will almost certainly need to drive. There are buses between Chapel Hill and Raleigh, but I think they stop fairly early in the evening. They certainly wouldn’t do for a night out.</p>

<p>There is a rentacar near campus. There is also zipcar.</p>

<p>I posted an answer yesterday but I think I sent a private message to Thp2017 instead.</p>

<p>I would visit Raleigh just for tourism, visiting places , attending to concerts and events. I found a bus schedule and saw that buses stop running at around 7pm.</p>

<p>I also contacted that facebook page but they didn’t answered me yet.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>
