Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There are 15 dorms of varying sizes, designs, and ages in three neighborhoods. College Hill is close to the sports complexes, Todd Dining Hall, and the music and science buildings. Central Campus is near the administrative offices, Joyner Library, some classroom buildings, and the Mall. West Campus is bordered by the Rec Center, downtown, the art building, and West End Dining. Because of renovations and vintage architecture, Central Campus is perhaps most desirable. Most dorms are tobacco free, but students can smoke outside. Dorm entry is by keys, the loaning of which is punishable by “death.” Actually, students caught loaning their keys, even to parents or a roommate, will be restricted from campus housing. There are RAs on every floor, some stricter than others. Both roommates pay for rooms, so they should collaborate on “house rules.”

New students should voice any discomfort about people staying overnight, even when it is allowed. If roommates cannot compromise, changing rooms is possible. Some students live on campus until they graduate, but many move off campus after two or three years. Freshmen should consider living on campus so they will not yet have to coordinate bus schedules and apartment parties along with everything else that is new. Also, it is convenient to be able to get up and run across campus to class without being too late

Out of State Tuition at ECU

I am an out of state student, and I pay a lot of money each semester to come here. This school is very cheap, you have to provide your own test bubble sheets and print out almost all your homework/syllabuses for each class, not to mention pay to print off paper as well.

Housing

Every student should live in the dorms at one time or another. I learned a lot about myself and how to handle the idiosyncrycies of others. However, it by far not the cleanest or happiest of places to be. It can get rough, and it will, but it is a necessary part of life to learn to deal with tough situations and overcome them.

Leadership Dorms

I've visited some other dorms and I think the Leadership dorms are the best as far as being small and surrounded by people who can help.

There are laundry rooms in all dorms, sometimes on each floor. Washer and dryer use is free for students. Students must take their trash to the community trash rooms. Housekeeping comes in frequently to clean bathrooms and public areas, and to clean out the trash rooms.

Did You Know?


Campus 31 CLTV (Campus Living TV), ECU’s “unofficial” campus station, broadcasts various programs in the residence halls. Somewhat like channels in hotels, CLTV is a giant infomercial about ECU resources, rules, and events. Students can even relive their pre-ECU confusion by watching the orientation welcome video. The Reznet COPS segment warns students about using the ECU computer network for illegal downloading. Those who miss CLTV programs can see them online (www.ecu.edu/campus31tv). There are rumors of expanding the channel to the Greenville community, so watch for it.

Visitation policy has changed to allow guests of the opposite sex to stay over on Fridays and Saturdays in upperclassman dorms.

Sometimes, during exam weeks, Campus Living offers rooms to commuter students for an affordable rate. Commuter students who want to reduce driving time and increase study time might want to consider this service but should apply early to ensure space.
