Charlotte

Home to J&W's newest campus, Charlotte is a blend of traditional and cutting-edge—with access to mountains and the ocean, and the best of America’s northern and southern cultures. With neither the harsh winters of more northern states, nor the excessive heat and humidity of its southern neighbors, Charlotte’s climate is idyllic—moderate, pleasant and sunny with year-round outdoor weather.    
 
These cross-currents create a vibrant cultural community that produces an astounding 55,000 performances and events annually. A national sports hub that loves to play, Charlotte serves as home base for The Lowe’s Motor Speedway that hosts 3 NASCAR Nextel Cup events a year, plus the NFL's Carolina Panthers and the new cat in town, the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats franchise that’s relocating to the new $265 million Center City Arena.
 
Charlotte is also less than 2 hours away from top-notch skiing in the North Carolina mountains—a perfect weekend getaway for whitewater rafting, rock climbing, camping, and mountain biking. Other weekend options include 2 of the South’s most elegant and gracious historic cities located nearby in Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC.

From gracious southern-style living, to affordable housing, picturesque neighborhoods, idyllic weather, abundant public parks and its unique location as a bridge between north and south, Charlotte offers the best of all worlds.
