Well, I'm a little late posting, but I live outside of Raleigh, so here's my opinion:
I really like Raleigh. Of course, I've got a family (wife and four kids), so my needs will probably be different from yours. Raleigh is nice, fairly southern, and fairly laid back. But there still seems to be quite a lot to do. Also lots of hot college-age girls with all the schools around (which of course doesn't matter to me except as eye-candy ;-)). I can't really think of many downsides to NC, unless you're looking for something specific you'll find in CA.
