It's a cool, graduate student and young family-friendly little town. You can find great restaurants and great community programs. It's a small town but there are different people from different many countries with complete different backgrounds and that's what I like about Carrboro, diversity! Also, they have a really good school system especially for ESL and EL(English learner students like myself).
It's a great city! The nature is incredible and has a ton of outdoor activities to offer. It is a family-friendly community, including students from UNC-Chapel Hill. Downtown Carrboro offfer unique shops, restaurants, and much more.
I enjoy Carrboro quite a bit. There is public transit and many amenities within close traveling distance. Housing costs are crazy and part of it being a college town located right beside UNC-Chapel Hill. Overall, it is a friendly place with some unique individuals which makes me feel pretty well at home.
