Would I be able to mail in an apartment application from my current state PA, or would I have to go there in person? Also, if I am accepted, am I then obligated to sign a lease with them, or can I still decline? I was distantly considering applying to an apartment just to put it "out there" and see what the results are, without really intending to move there, but I am not sure what the consequences of such a practice is.
Also, as a slight aside, is anyone familiar with Asheville? I gather it's west, close the mountains, and very touristy. I like the central location of the area in and around Raleigh, but Asheville would seem an ideal place for hiking and outdoor activities.. Is cost of living there high? How's the job market? What kind of city/town is it?
I guess for recreation I could always just visit there while living closer to Raleigh, but after flipping through a Frommers tour book earlier Asheville sounded very nice, but also pricey during the tourist season. Granted, the book is focused on vacationing, but I am curious about actually living in Ashville.
Also, is Asheville a lot colder, specificall in winter? If it's cooler in the spring/summer, that's fine, but I'm not really a big fan of snow, and being close to the mountains makes me wonder if they get heavy snowfall there.
