<p>Why have so few posters here talked about the quality and rigor of the academics at either ECU or UNCW?</p>
<p>The Life Sciences are fairly strong at UNCW, particularly Biology. Incidentally, It’s an attractive, suburban-like campus. Right smack against a strip-mall shopping district. I can’t speak to the academics at ECU, but ECU has been acknowledged for being innovative and proactive in student life and retention of freshmen. One of the major news magazines did a story on ECU’s freshman counseling/adjustment/immersion program a few years ago.</p>
