I love ECU. I graduated in 2011 and am currently in the Masters of business admin program. I would highly recommend ECU!
Overall 4.6
I came to ECU for nursing but switched majors halfway through. The administration makes transitioning to different majors a straightforward process for students. Also, there are tons of opportunities for students to get involved at ECU - joining a club sport, volunteering, getting access to tutoring, and working on campus! I had a great experience!

Don't be a fool, ECU is the best school. Best tailgates in the state and Sup Dogs is the King.

The easiest school to get into. No one ever gets denied. Might as well be a community college. Nothing to do in Greenville. Campus is alright.
Overall 1.4
ecu had alot to offer in the 90's unfortunately until they can figure out to invest in the surrounding area greenville lacks so much. if your not greek or an athlete good luck making friends. there is no community here. if this is ur only option like it was mine then take a gap year and do online first. i feel like i wasted my college years here.

Very unorganized school. Crime is high and professors are not very good. You really have to do your own research and be prepared to do everything yourself!!!!
Overall 1.6
Went for art and design most disorganized program, no professionals, except for in certain studios like painting metals and Ceramics.Teachers have crossed boundaries, ate understaffed good luck getting a required class. Terrible for mental health.
Overall 1.9
Not many healthy food options on campus. Campus is small. Facilities like the gym are ok but almost all buildings are very old. There is a building on campus (Brewster) that has been evaluated due to causing numerous cancer cases. The town is small, not much to do other than go to bars. I was very depressed at this school and decided to transfer.
