East Carolina University Top Questions

Some sertain material that my high school couldn't provide that may have surprised me when i came to college.

Not much of anything I knew of the school pretty well before attending. I attended softball summer camp there for three years in a row!

I wish I had known more about student job opportunities.

I was told everything about this school before I came here. I knew what my dorm was like and I knew what the dining halls were like. I wish I knew more about extracurricular activities and more about the cost of books and the fact that your tuition has to be paid in full before classes start. There is not much about East Carolina that I did not know about.

I wish i had looked more into expenses and the cost of school so i could have applied for many other scholarships and grants because school is expensive.( tuition and books)

How much harder college classes were compared to high school classes. No one really emphasized it enough.

a large portion of kids here are conservative and close-minded

How far it is from home

I wish I knew how the meal plans worked along with pirate bucks. It would have been alot easier knowing a good class schedule for the activities that I wanted to participate in.

They did a fantastic job at describing the campus and life here during orientation and the campus walk throughs that they have. The only thing I would wish I had known before hand was how dressed up people get for football games, because I would have gotten more purple and gold clothing. I wish I knew how to get more invloved in certain clubs and activities, and also how to get involved in leadership programs. I wish I had known how hard it was to get into the theater productions if you were not a theater major.

I wish I had known about how easy it is to get involved in campus organizations. At the begining of fall semester there is "Get A Clue" where all the student organizations come out to the mall (the center of our campus) so that people can sign up and find out how to join.I wish I knew how easy it is to access my professors. All professors hold office hours and not only are they actially there for them but often times you find them there outside of their hours willing to help you with anything

nothing really. i think i adjusted pretty well.

I wish I would had known about the cost of attendance and all the requirements to completely graduate on time. When you first attend ECU, they do discuss the cost of the school but little do you know that if you are a little short, you have to drop out of school until you are able to pay it. The school and federal financial aid do not cover youe whole college year and it is so hard to get a private loan. Some requirement to graduate on time is not fully discussed to us also.
