East Carolina University Top Questions

What kind of person should attend this school?

Tyra

I recommend individuals who are very school spirited, sociable, outgoing, and open-minded to attend East Carolina University. The students who do not match these attributes are the minority on campus and mostly focused only on the academic side of college. This university aims to promote diversity and educate its students on the different cultures practiced in the world. I have learned a lot from my years at the university and now understand that college has a purpose other than just academics. ECU opened my eyes to the networking, social, and memorable aspect of college.

Deandra

A person who wants to have a great college experience but also get a great education.

Nicole

A very outgoing person with leadership qualities should attend this school. East Carolina has hundreds of clubs and many different sororities and fraternities that are available to students. There are tons of opportunities to let your voice be heard and take on a leadership position.

Cassaundra

Someone that knows how to balance their social life and school should attend ECU. There are so many things to do during the Fall and Spring semesters and if one does not know how to balance thier life, things may not work out.

Jessica

A person who is able to balance work and play will thrive at this university. There are a plethora of things to get into at ECU, and if one cannot find the balance between enjoying the extracurriculars and actually going to class and doing the work, then he will struggle. If he can balance those, though, he will LOVE it!

Carolyn

East Carolina University welcomes all ethnicities and races. Whether you are going to college strictly for schooling or you are going to "have a good time" (while you learn) East Carolina University is the place for you. People that are very social and do well in large classes are the kind of people that should attend ECU. Unlike high school where you have small classes of about 20-30 students some ECU classes have between 100-200 students in them. It is a huge school which allows you to meet new people everyday.

Nicole

East Carolina can produce very successful students long as the student is dedicated and self-disciplined, as well as responsible. Being a college student requires great responsibility; with trying to maintain good grades and a social life, some students have a hard time balancing and managing . To be successful at ECU, a student must understand what is expected, have self control and be very studious.

Aaron

The type of person that should attend this school should be determined. Any college is not easy. You have to be above your peers and stay in to study in stead of going out to party. There are going to be times when he/she is going to want to quit, but I think about what it will bring in the end. In the end, I will have a degree which will put me one foot forward to my goals in life.

Molly

Some one who likes to have a good time. Someone who has a lot of school spirit and likes football.

Katherine

Prospective students must be independent, driven, and posess the ability to step outside their comfort zone. Those who are not willing to socialize, amongst peers or professional acquaintances, are going to be extremely uncomfortable at this school. "Easy U" is an inaccurate stereotype. This school does require hard work and determination. While athletics are not everything, a great sense of school spirit will help anyone fit in here. Students who do not mind being in small towns will feel right at home in Greenville. There is an incredible nightlife downtown as well.

Faryn

Someone who is seriously interested in making a difference in their life and working towards a goal in helping others. It doesn't matter what field of study you take one way or another you are making a difference. You must be committed, energetic and have the drive to want the education to make the difference.

I think this school is great for everyone.

This school is one of the top 5 schools for construction management. If you did not do your best in high school but want a place where you can easily stand out, get amazing research positions your freshman year, really get to know your professors, and feel like you are part of a team this is the school for you. A love of football is a MUST since weekends during fall semester are devoted entirely to Pirate football!!! The campus is pretty conservative and is not very diverse so if you are looking for diversity try ASU.
