I know that the OP has made his choice and that is great news. But just in case others ever look at this tread comparing these three NC schools I wanted to weigh in. I have spent time on all three campuses and know many students at each of them. Each have their own individual strengths and atmospheres.

Of the three, ECU has the most complete university feeling. It is the largest and the oldest of the three. Wilmington is the smallest, in population and campus size which gives it a more small school feel. UNCC has population numbers that are close to ECU but many of those still have to be commuters, their campus is much more urban than the other two and Charlotte is a great city with much to do, but to me the school doesn’t feel like a “university campus” , BUT they are working on that and the school is changing. Wilmington continues to do better is most rankings, so that might mean something, but personally I don’t know anyone that has NOT been able to get into UNCW, so I really don’t know where they get their admission numbers. Here we call it UNC-Waitlist – everyone makes deposit at UNCW while waiting to get off waitlist at UNC-CH or State.
