Rocky Mount is a revitalized, affordable riverfront city with a walkable historic mill district, parks, the Imperial Centre for arts and science, breweries and a growing restaurant scene—comfortable and convenient for multi-week therapy contracts.
Raleigh’s big-city museums, dining and airport are roughly an hour away and Greenville (home to ECU) is about 40–45 miles, so weekend escapes and bigger-city amenities are easy to reach.
