I consider the school spirit to be the best thing about my school. Pirate pride is essential.

The best thing about East Carolina is the school spirit. You always know there is a football game that weekend, because everyone is decked out in spiritwear the Friday before a Saturday game. The pride for our school brings the student body together.

There are some really great teachers here. The class size is not as large as you would expect it to be, and that is great.

The best part of my school is the student unity. Everybody is loud and proud of being an East Carolina University Pirate. At East Carolina, students look out for each other. We all help each other with classes, homework, transportation, and all sorts of things. For example, I needed help getting to work one day, and a fellow pirate, whom I had only met after coming to school, gave me a ride both to work, and back to the dorm. The unity at East Carolina is strong and lasts forever. Loyal and Bold, Purple and Gold.

ECU has a superstition about the cupola on the middle of campus. The myth is that if you walk under the cupola, then you won't graduate in four years. There is no empirical data to support this, but do you really want to take the chance? =P

All of the dorms are a bit different but they were not as bad as I have heard dorms to be. I was in Greene Hall which is on the West Side of campus and I really liked the location of where it was; you can walk out one side and be at the dining hall and walk out the door on the opposite side and be at the recreation center. The rooms in Greene were also a bit larger than rooms in the other dorms, which was definitely nice! The dorms on the central part of campus have smaller rooms but they are closer to your classes and the dorms on college hill are a typical dorm size but it is a little bit of a walk to your classes. What is really nice about all the dorms is that they provide a refrigerator and a microwave, which most schools do not and that saves a bunch of money.

The best thing about my school is the incredible spirit that all the students have. As I walk through East Carolina's beautiful campus I see thousands of students dressed in purple and gold and it makes me happy to be a part of this great University.
