Read samples from the East Carolina University guide below:

Academics

“I grew up in a teeny little town in North Carolina, and I always heard about Greenville and ECU. I ended up going to community college at home for a couple of years to save money, and now I’m here and I’m so happy to be in Greenville. Finally, I’m a...”

Diversity

“There are certainly a lot more in-state students here than out-of-state students, and a lot of the out-of-state students seem to come from up North. That’s okay, as long as they leave their prejudices and stereotypes about the South at home. Southerners...”

Guys & Girls

“I read in the East Carolinian last year that chlamydia and HPV are pretty common around here. My roommate was, shall I say, promiscuous, and I think she had trichomoniasis and some other ones I can’t remember. I don’t really know what all of them were, and...”

Athletics

“Baseball is the best sport at ECU! They have a cool new stadium. A lot of people were unhappy when they built it, though, because now the fans can’t just sit outside the park, tailgate, and still see the game. There’s a big hill there now, so spectators...”

Academics

Most ECU students are satisfied with their academic experiences. The faculty-to-student ratio varies by department, but overall, in major-area courses, the classes
are much smaller and more conducive to discussion. The average class size is 24, but it varies with the department’s number of majors and the class level. Many freshman classes, especially lecture classes and labs that count toward the required 42 hours of general education credit, are taught in lecture halls and may have 100 or more students....

Diversity

The word “diversity” has been significant on campus for the past few years, especially in student leadership training and in the administration. On the student level, however, diversity is manifested in many forms at ECU, including state, race and ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, age, and economic background. Minority student organizations do not generally restrict membership to students who are of a particular ethnicity. Usually, the groups are open to anyone who appreciates the...

Guys & Girls

ECU students exist in all shapes and sizes. Guys range from boney pubescent types to muscular athletes. Some girls are rail-thin and look like they need to eat a dozen Krispy Kremes (without throwing them up afterwards), and many are also well-toned and athletic, or voluptuous vixens. Guys and girls at ECU are often both intellectual and good-looking. A glance at the parking lots reveals the variety of personality-indicating vehicles ECU students drive: big trucks with even bigger tires, mini-vans, beloved...

Athletics

ECU baseball has been worth following in recent years, and the football record is improving under the new coach. Despite chronic losses, however, fans still wear purple and gold, drive around with Jolly Roger flags waving from their vehicle windows, go tailgating, and attend games. ECU’s Pirate has also changed faces over the years, from a retro, stern expression to cute, cartoonish PeeDee to the current, more sinister pirate. Fortunately, the mascot costume still presents the huggable version of PeeDee...
