East Carolina University Top Questions

Now I hate that the school has become very crowded. I know it's great that more people have chosen to come to school here but the school just try to find some way to expand to accomidate all the new students.

Any institution is only as good as its students. Unfortunately, most people are focused on themselves and on the years they will spend in college without considering their own future and how to acheive their career and personal goals. It is easy to get caught up in campus activities and parties. Many conversations I hear in the halls and on the sidewalks are about how wasted people were the weekend before. Of course, there are those who care about getting an education and bettering themselves so they can better the community. However, this seems to not be the norm.

Just like any other college, it is very easy to let your social life interfere with your academics. At ECU there is always an oppurtunity to have fun. You need to learn how to balance your social and academic life.

I think the worst thing about our school is our schools reputation. ECU is known as one of the biggest party schools on the East coast. What people dont know about ECU is how great of an Education program we have, and how hard it is to get into our Nursing School. All people think about whenever they hear about East Carolina University is the drunk underage students, getting STD's, and that is pretty sad. I think that pur school needs to focus more on attending class and furthering everyones life that goes to this college.

Its nothing other than the college in the surrounding area. The closest big city is hr and a half away.

Although their is a minority base in the school, it seems that if you miss your opporunity as a freshman to create friends then it is extremely harder to create friends. The african-american count in the community is probably high, but if you are shy it is hard to see yourself fitting in with the other black people here. And the black soroities and fraternities are hard to get connected with.

I think the worst thing about my school is that some of the professors here are foreign and they speak english but it is very heavy accented english and very hard to understand, which in return makes the class harder than it normally would be. Not only do you have to learn the material but you have to translate it as the professor is saying it.

I think one of the worst things about this school is that it has the reputation of a party school. This really is not the truth. Yes, if you look for the partying you can find it but it is not like many people think that you drink in class. This keeps many of the people who would fit in well here away because they do not like the repuation it has.

The worst thing about my school is that sometimes I am amazed to know that some students don't take their studies seriously.

The worst thing about East Carolina is the number of freshman who waste their first semester on the social aspects of college instead of focusing on academics.
