If you are from a big city then do not go here. 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".

Judging by your review, I really don't know why you chose ECU. ECU is know as probably the biggest social/party school in NC and one top party schools in America (says Playboy). If you are as intellectual as you esteem yourself to be, why didn't you choose a school that better suited your wants and needs as a student? No, I am not an ECU student, however I will be next semester and my major will be biology as well. I have many friends on campus, several of which are in your class and they all seem to enjoy campus life at ECU. Maybe I might come off as a little defensive, but my GPA is a 3.8, I've been recognized nationally for my SAT scores, I was accepted into 3 public Ivies, and ECU has still remained my top choice college. I've visited and stayed on campus numerous times over the past two years and I have been absolutely in love with the campus. Granted, Greenville may have some pretty shady characters (ok, VERY shady), who you choose to surround yourself with makes the world of difference in how you view your college experience. Obviously I don't know anything about you other than what you shared in this post, but I would like to offer you one simple piece of advice: sometimes if you want to fit in, you have to find where you fit. I've been to a couple of ECU parties (last Halloween O.O) and yes they are wild, but there is so much more to ECU than JUST parties. My personal favorite thing about ECU are the football games and the Magnolia Belles, but that's because football and music have always been major parts of my life. Sure, if you only look for the bad things at a college, that's what you will find, but there are so many other things to take into consideration before you label a college. Otherwise NO college would be worth attending.

ECU Class of 2017 & Lifetime Pirate Fan

I went to ECU worse mistake I ever made. After you get out you are viewed as an alcoholic even though you may not drink, I don't but because of going there, it actually hurt my career by going there, I am successful in spite of this place, the town is full of crime and it has become a dangerous campus, you may be the Class of 2017 but by 2018 you may regret you ever saw the place. I know I do , on resumes and job apps I have actually hid that I went there. - Class of ECU I wish I never seen ya!
