We go through life wondering what will come of the opportunities given to me? You go to ECU and you find that opportunity is all around. College isn't about what cost the most. It is about the value that it brings to you. ECU is that exact value I feel people should take a chance to yearn for. Simple, Personal, Professional, Caring. #LiveYourLife<3

This is a small and tight knit college. But it has such heart and passionate professors, especially in the English department

This is the best bang for your buck! Large university education, 1/5 the class size, 1/3 the cost!

Nice school

Though this may be a very small-sized school, yet the quality of education here can let you challenge your folks from bigger schools, if you know you reason for being here. The lecture schedules are so flexible, nice facilities, well computerized, helpful faculty and staff, good social life and safety you will always depend on...i love being here!

ECU is really a great school. It's really cheap, which I would say is the main draw, but the campus is beautiful and the people are nice. This is a great school for fine and performance arts majors! I was at OK State in the choral dept, and ECU's is EONS better. Instrumental music, art, and theatre depts are incredible as well.

A glorified high school.
Overall 1.7
Worst college experience EVER! Literally learned no academic knowledge and despite claims of being a caring campus, NEVER found that to be true. No office can get anything done in a timely manner (try 2 years of waiting and requesting transcripts, documentation, etc.).

They have a rather cagey financial system going on. You can't access information on where your charges are going. Very expensive for the level of education. Many of the professors seem burned out. Bummer.

I took Human Resources Counseling and the people in charge of this are so stupid and do not care about the students. I do not see how they obtained accreditation for this program. If you really want to learn ssomething go somewhere else.

The financial aid office is horrendous and the staff is rude to their students. There is no cameras on campus and there have been many crimes throughout my time at the school. In my current semester, the fire alarm was pulled 12 times (3 in the past day) and nobody knows who is doing it because this campus is too cheap for cameras. Go elsewhere.
