towns between hickory and north carolina (Charlotte, Gastonia: place to live, internship, dinner)

[tiapia03]

Hi, I'm a physical therapy student in florida. I'm going to be doing an internship in charlotte in july. One of my classmates has her's in hickory at the same time. We were going to see if we could find a place to live in the middle of the 2 towns that wouldn't be a far drive for either of us. Are there any towns between charlotte and hickory that would be about a 30 min drive for both of us? Thank you.

Or Lincolnton, which is a little closer to Hickory than to Charlotte.

Denver, N.C. or Gastonia - what side of Charlotte will you be doing your internship?

[tiapia03]

Thank you all for the information. My internship is in south charlotte. How is the traffic going into charlotte?

you will probably be hopping on I77 south and it moves but it will be stop and go til you reach Uptown.
then it just heavy. Unless there is a wreck then your just screwed It gets heavy between 7:30 and 9
If you get off at 5 you might as well stop somewhere for dinner because it gets gridlock

I live a little north of Statesville and it takes me about an hour (give or take 10mins) to get to Arrowood which is south west of Charlotte.

From Statesville to Hickory it's about 20 minutes

Bulok beat me to it... I was going to suggest Statesville as well.
