Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

ECU students exist in all shapes and sizes. Guys range from boney pubescent types to muscular athletes. Some girls are rail-thin and look like they need to eat a dozen Krispy Kremes (without throwing them up afterwards), and many are also well-toned and athletic, or voluptuous vixens. Guys and girls at ECU are often both intellectual and good-looking. A glance at the parking lots reveals the variety of personality-indicating vehicles ECU students drive: big trucks with even bigger tires, mini-vans, beloved rusted-out souvenirs from two decades ago, boxy hand-me-downs, trendy SUVs, and brightly-colored boom-boxes on wheels. Some ECU students are sexually promiscuous, but there is also a significant portion of students who are protection-conscious, and some who have decided not to be sexually active until later in their lives. No matter which category new students fit into, there will be others who share their ideas. Attending class regularly cultivates friendships with people who have similar academic interests, and campus organizations can be good places to meet people who have similar goals and lifestyle choices. In general, if new students pursue their own interests, through academic and social groups, they are likely to find other students with whom to develop relationships. What really matters at ECU, no matter the sexual orientation or goal of dating, are self-confidence and awareness, manners, conversation, personality, and a genuine smile.

Social Groups at ECU

Most of the students at East Carolina are typically southern, and dress preppy. However, there are other social groups that are on campus, preppy is not the only social status here. Everyone here is friendly and outgoing.

Guys & Girls at ECU

Most people here are pretty chill. Some are not so much. The guys here so far are nice & the girls can be loud and really can't tell who is real & who's not. My friends here are great though. I just prefer to keep a small circle of friends.

Guys and Girls

Being a guy at ECU has been a great privilege. There are so many beautiful girls here, but there are also so many ugly girls. By this I mean their hearts and minds, not their faces and bodies. The typical student here is pretty nice, but there are some who are pretty ridiculous when it comes to their personality. Everyone is pretty attractive for the most part. Most of the girls here are not very smart and they tend to dress very promiscuously on a regular basis. It may be strange for a male to be turned off by this, but its just not attractive to some.

Facts

Social Scene

Because Greenville is in the South, ECU students are naturally sociable. It is customary to speak to, or at least smile at, people passing by on the sidewalk, even if you don't know them. Most students are aware of other students who may be passing through doors behind them and won't let the door slam in their face. Casually holding the door for someone behind you, whether you've ever seen them before or not, is common courtesy and could even get you a date.

Hookups or Relationships?

There are a lot of random hookups, especially at parties and as a result of drunken encounters at clubs. Some off-campus couples move in with each other temporarily before breaking up or getting married. There are also students who meet someone in their first semester at ECU and end up marrying them before, or soon after, graduation. There are many engagements between students, particularly between juniors and seniors.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Going to different events on campus allows you to meet a large variety of people, such as a philanthropy event for a sorority, like a pasta dinner.

Dress Code

The dress at ECU ranges from hippie-casual to business to preppy to next-to-nothing. Anything goes here. There is no single style that students as a whole feel pressured to assume. Students mostly wear jeans and t-shirts to class.
