East Carolina University is very unique because everyone has pirate pride! When it comes to athletics or academics, all the students and faculty are proud to attend this university.

The uniqueness East Carolina University offers is student enthusiasm. From the outside one would think such enthusiasm revolves around the sports team known as the “Pirates”. This Pirate spirit surpasses the athletic division of the university. It is the heart, soul and power of East Carolina uniqueness. As a first generation college student and limited funds to invest in my future, East Carolina University provided the appropriate affordability and recognition of experience previously obtained as a transfer student. I have learned that this “Pirate Power” is contagious, its own force that emboldens our purple and gold students to achieve greater.

The engineering program at my school is very personal compared to other schools. Many engineering programs are very large and impersonal, containing thousands of students. The schools tend to not care much about students who are struggling, and only provide opportunity for those who succeed. Engineering at East Carolina University is designed to support engineering students, and help them succeed. Our program is much smaller than most engineering programs; therefore, it is much easier to get one-on-one assistance from professors. This small community combined with the supportiveness of the professors creates a very positive academic atmosphere.

What is the most unique quality that ECU has compared to other universities is that one-of-a-kind art projects that are spread across the campus, such as sculptures, the water fountain, and the library's steps that make noise when you walk up them.

East Carolina is such a great school. I feel like I have learned so much just from being there my first semster as a freshman. The teachers do not look at you as a number like other schools might. The teachers are always there to help you and would bend over backwards for you. So far I have never came across teachers as good as they are. East carolina is also a good place to be I feel safe and surounded by a great environment! I absolutly love it there!! I wouldnt change one thing about it.
