Campus Visit Notes for East Carolina University


Visit Description:

I originally had no desire to see ECU but my mom signed me up for a tour and I fell in love with the school. It is truly beautiful and is very up-and-coming. Everyone was very friendly and my tour exceeded my expectations. The cost of attendance for both in and out-of-state is dirt cheap compared to other schools. I would only be paying about 24,000 for tuition, room AND board and I am out-of-state. Definitely check ECU out!

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Marriott - Greenville. Very nice, close to the campus.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

CPW's was a nice restaurant and Todd Dining Hall on ECU's campus was awesome!
