Lexie - 03/29/2024

ECPI is a well rounded school. The professors are easily accessible, they encourage academic freedom and creativity. They only want what’s best for you as a student and a person going out into the real world. Very communicative, honest, and overall amazing.

Xena - 12/31/2022

There are some great teachers there that care about the students and some teachers who are there for a paycheck. Overall they have a great facility, they are constantly improving and hopefully in the future it gets better. They don't have an actual cafeteria, which I think they should incorporate in the future because just feeding of the vending machine is not always the best choice.

Kimberly - 06/10/2020
