Off-Campus Housing

The off campus housing selection is great. There are many apartment complexes that benefit student needs. Most of the apartments have their own gym, internet cafes, basketball courts, pools, and tanning. The apartments are usually gated and very safe. All of the apartments have buses that take you to campus and back from classes.

East Carolina University: Off-Campus Housing

Living off-campus and attending ECU is not that hard of a task. Certain places, such as Pirate Place, have less than savory reputations, but managing rent and such is not too difficult. It is important that if you are going to live off-campus that you PLAN ahead of time how rent, groceries, etc. will be paid.

Luckily, many of the apartments are a part of the transit system that ECU provides so getting to class won't be much of a problem.

Some landlords are worse than others. My experience at University Suites made me feel as though they were lazy, but the rooms were extremely nice. At The Landing, well, it is nothing special. The Landing rooms are a bit small and one would think their amenities would be better, but it is somewhere to live. I suggest exploring your options FULLY before making a decision.

Your Own Place!

Living off campus seems to be very exciting to most students, no more Resident Advisor, you get to cook, you have your own bedroom and bathroom! Finding places to live off campus in Greenville, there are plenty of choices. They all seem to be about the same size, but they range in prices, security, location, and their "oldness."If you want your own place you got it, as long as you take the time to look around and decide what you and most likely your parents want you are set to start living on your own.
