I?m from new England?pretty far up north, so coming down to school at ECU and transitioning to life in a smaller southern community was not as easy as I thought. If anyone from the north is considering going south, know that SOME(not all of course) southerners will have pre-conceived notions of you being ?rude? and ?disrespectful?. I?ve been able to change many people?s attitudes about northerners, but I still find it frustrating that I can?t always openly share where I come from, especially because I love my state! With that being said, ECU is an incredible school with so much opportunity. 300+ clubs/activities, and REALLY, there is something for anyone and everyone. The campus is beautiful and quite small seeing as ECU is the 2nd largest institution in NC with almost 30,000 students. The walk from your dorm to class at most will take 10-15 minutes. Also, walking to class, you?ll see so many people you know, which makes the atmosphere of the school seem smaller than 30,000 students. You?ll find so many different types of people here from all different places. I have many friends from NC here and many out of state friends too. I?ve even met students from Cali and even Hawaii! I?m a business major which is the most popular major at ECU. The classes are great, some not so hard, some have managed to kick my ass, but as you progress through college, you?ll adjust to the course load. Obviously my senior level courses are much harder than my freshman level courses were, but it?s all about time management and study skills! Yes, ECU is a party school. Don?t let the reputation scare you, because MOST SCHOOLS ARE, especially any school with 25,000+ students. I have friends who party non-stop, as well as friends who have barely ever gone out, and friends who are in-between. The great thing about a school like this is that you can have many different groups of friends. It?s so easy to make friends here, as long as you don?t stay locked up in your room all day long playing call of duty?Branch out, meet as many people as possible! Get to know the campus and all the things it has to offer. We have so many student discounted advantages, such as free movies, trips across the state, even FREE LAUNDRY when you live in the dorms! The dining hall food is actually good here, you will get a free shirt for EVERYTHING, and the football games/tailgates are some of the most fun I?ve ever had in my life! What?s not to like?! Ok, I?ll admit that Greenville isn?t anything great. It?s a small, pretty run down town in the middle of nowhere...literally, but you?ll be surprised how much fun one can have in such a place. I can honestly say I am seldom bored in Greenville. If you?re considering ECU, just come for a visit! I guarantee you?ll be pleasantly surprised.

The academics arent as bad as its made to seem but isnt very good either. Fair amount of Blutarskys here. Work hard and put your grades first. Be outgoing, most people are pretty pleasant and the parties are fun even if its not your scene go out. Always go to class because thats what its for. All in all I would give it an 8/10. 9/10 for social life and a 7/10 for academics. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: C- Have a Question?

The hood (I swear Lil Wayne's twins go here), rednecks, snooty middle class sorority girls, average-looking frats who probably got a bid because they knew how to dress well, dumb nerds, Indians who got full rides and decided their Chapel Hill acceptance letter may require them to do more than just lift a finger, and meat heads go here. Wow, cramming a lot of unintelligent random asses makes this university diverse... Wrong, this place is segregated socially more than "diverse". I can't walk to class without some trashy girl with hickies littering her neck stare me down. As a biology major from the big city, I came to ECU because I only tried my final two years in high school, realizing a 4.5 was attainable. I plan to transfer after my first semester with a 3.8. I teach myself all the course work. I go to class only for the clicker that takes your attendance. And for the only professor that seems to care about students excelling and getting the most out of his class, which is crammed with rednecks aspiring to get into medical school. What a joke!!! Want to hear what the professors are actually saying? Sit up front because everyone else in the back will be talking about the slam piece they scored last night, how this sorority chick had a threesome, or how wasted they were the past 3 weeks. I walk the campus feeling like I am floating and enduring limbo. The people here are like bland noodles; no personality, creativity, wit, or talents besides taking shots w/o chasers. Whoop, da-fucking woop. How about, take a shot of reality and do more than waste your parent's money getting a below average undergraduate degree from this place. The majority of students hang around here with barely a 2.0 GPA scoping out the next dirty club and ratchet ass they can get to. I believe the only times I've said I like ECU was when I was wasted at a house party teetering on my heels and watching the craziest acts of drunkenness go on in front of me. If you want to treat this place like a sociological experiment, be my guest. Come here for a shitty education, straight A's if you put three hours of effort into your day, and drink/bang a few "bad bitches" cause "bandz a mak hur dance".
