Fearrington Village is located just
outside the Triangle Area of North Carolina, which has been
recognized time and time again for its devotion to higher learning.
This dedication extends far beyond the region's exceptional
offerings for degree-seeking students; it also reaches out to those
whose intellectual curiosities continue well after graduation day.
In fact, nearby Chapel Hill was recently named among the "10
Brainiest Places To Retire" by US News & World Report. Below
are some of the area's best advanced learning opportunities.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Program In The Humanities & Human Values
A part of the College of Arts & Sciences, this program has

and has brought 35,000 participants together to discuss moral,
social and cultural issues. In 2008 the program will feature film
premieres, lectures and a series of weekend seminars entitled
"Adventures In Ideas." For more information, visit:
