Great opportunities if you work hard.

School has made a lot of improvements. Love the new look across campus. Can't beat the price of tuition. Stay off campus with friends, cheaper than the dorms, but overall good campus experience.

This University is a great school to attend for educators and degrees in the human service field. The campus is friendly and family oriented. I'm proud to be a Viking X2!

Like any college, ECSU provides excellent opportunities for students who are mature enough to self-regulate and participate. Professors are willing to guide and assist any student who commits, and is willing to work. I feel proud to be an ECSU alumni. College is what YOU make it.

This school has been great to me as a transfer student. Everyone was helpful from the beginning and it’s very affordable!! Just needs more financial support so that they are able to offer more.
Bad reviews

Very few people there who genuinely want to help. People are hard to reach. Officials seem like they're never there. Professors are miserable, and it comes across to students.

Programs are under funded, school needs to have more funding in other programs in order to provide a proper education.
Overall 1.6
Although just about every aspect of the school is below average to awful, it's really what you make it, like everyone else is saying. You can be sad, bored in your room by yourself, or you can get through it with some good friends

This school is alright, it is all about how you make it.

ECSU was my first choice, however, it shouldn't have been. The food is horrid and it's not professional at all. Buildings aren't unlocked at the time they are supposed to be, the food is nasty, and it's hard to find people who are genuine and wants to help you. My biggest complaint was definitely the food. I remember feeling sick after every meal.
Overall 1.8
This school has the worst Aviations Science program that I have ever seen. Professors are continuously late to class and are not educated enough on what they are instructing. Aviations department chair uses profanity towards students and continuously puts them down. Other faculty members have made death threats to students. Not a good program.

I don't understand how an institution needs more students, but screws over the ones who are already there. Elizabeth City State University is messy, unorganized, and filled with uppity individuals who need to be removed. I am a transfer and I regret leaving my previous institution for this struggle of a school. #whatanightmare

The library is so hot and uncomfortable that I cannot use it. I must go off campus to use a library and this is very inconvenient. Clubs? I am only aware of 1. There doesn't seem to be anyway to look up clubs. Pretty disappointed.
