I did see that you'd like to try something different though. Within a few hours you have the ocean, mountains and snow in NC (Asheville), a number of lakes, and only a few hours from larger cities like Charlotte and Atlanta.
+1 on Greenville. Great town with a great atmosphere!
Advantage to Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville/Spartanburg:

These cities have been rapidly growing over the last several years. This means most people in these cities came from someplace else.

This means it is much easier to get to know people (few established cliques), and people are generally more open and friendly.

If you go to a small town you may find the "You're not from around here, are you" treatment. In RDU/CLT/GSP you get the "where are you from?" friendliness. Big difference.
