East Carolina University Greenville NC —
ECU is a great community to be if you are looking for a big city feel, in a small city place. The school is dynamic, and tons of fun if you are into the social scene. In my experience, the staff and faculty at ECU have been helpful and caring. It's definitely a place where, 'what you put in is what you get out of it'. I've been here for a while now (currently in Graduate school), and love it. Contemplated going to a different school for my grad degree, but ECU is accredited, making it that much more enticing. Football is huge here, if you aren't willing to paint it purple, stay where you are! Tailigating is unbelievable, and tons of fun. The downtown scence is fun for a while, but can get old. It's only a strip long, containing about 15 bars w/i a two block radius....see what i mean? ECU gets two thumbs up, and I would recommend this school to anyone.
