East Carolina University Top Questions

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.

I love how learn how I to deal with and experience life in different settings and in the company of a diverse population of wonderful people.

The atmosphere is just wonderful! The students are so friendly, the professors are amazing, and you can tell everyone just loves being there!

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.

The club sports program because they fund everything and it fun.

The best thing is definitely the spirit my school has during sport season's. East Carolina may not have the best football team, though the school's students are in love with the mascot of a Pirate. With all the Spirit, ECU is also very friendly, and has a small town feel, regardless of the 20,000+ students who attend.

East Carolina University offers countless opportunities for both the staff and students. East Carolina University provides academic advising as well as free tutoring services.

I like how everyone is so friendly. The biggest thing is that boys and girls are always opening and holding the doors for you. It may just be a southern thing but students here are very respectful. My RA on my floor is so nice and helpful and they have amazing breakfast in the West End Dining Hall, as well as my classes being fun and educational.

The two things that are the best at ECU are the transportation system and professors. There are buses that shuttle on-campus students to off campus store like Target and the Greenville Mall. There are also buses that shuttle off-campus students on campus to class. On the weekends a bus runs downtown to return students safely back to campus. Secondly is the quality of the professors that work at ECU. Most of the professors are doctors in their fields and have a wealth of information that they are more than willing to pass on to the student body.

There was only one department that I was unhappy with. Every other class I took in every department I loved and learned a lot in.

The best thing about ECU is the people. Everyone is very laid-back and willing to help f you just ask. It is a large campus but everyone is like one big family and everyone takes a lot of pride in the school.

The diversity clubs and programs ran at this school. The openness the school allows for people to start their own organization. I feel there is a strong emphasis on cultural diversity and art programs. I like that the school is big but not too big for people to know their way around campus. I feel there is a sense of unity with all the students and no sense of segregation. I enjoy attending the many cultural events so that I can learn something new.
