Campus Visit Notes for East Carolina University


Visit Description:

I visited on Veterans Day and it was crowded with people. Since it was a federal holiday and people were out of school, a lot of people came from up North to visit.

Also, I live a hour away from ECU, so I already knew a bit about the school before visiting and stayed overnight at ECU for a church youth trip in 2009 and 2010. So I got to stay in the dorms and eat at the dining halls.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

We didn't eat at the dining halls during or after the tour, but I did a few years ago on a church youth trip. They had great food and a lot of choices.
