Why ECU Is The Most Fun School in North Carolina
Pool Parties

ECU is known for their epic pool parties. Pool party season is definitely a favorite of most ECU students. This epic season takes place from August to October and from March to May. So if you have friends planning on visiting ECU, make sure you tell them to come within those months!


Football Games

Pirate football is the best in North Carolina. Not to mention we beat UNC 70 to 41 this year. We were also ranked in the The AP Top Poll this year! There is no doubt we have the most football pride and the best fan section out of all of North Carolina. 


Tailgating

Win or lose, we still booze. Tailgating is a practically a sport at ECU. Tailgating starts hours prior to kick off and still goes on well throughout the game if you don't have a ticket (or can't make it). Also, with so many fans who come to Greenville on week day game days, classes are usually cancelled, so students can start tailgating earlier! The university is always on our side. 


Downtown Greenville

Downtown Greenville's nightlife is always a good time. There are bars open 7 days a week. I repeat, 7 days a week. Why just drink on the weekend? Downtown also has specials during the week days. Mondays: Mug Night at Supdogs; Tuesdays: $1 drinks at Halfway House; Wednesday: Karaoke at Fitzgeralds; Thursday: Ladies Night at all the bars!


Frat Parties
ECU isn't only a bar school it has many other things to do, like fraternity parties. ECU has over 20 fraternities on campus. If the bar scene is not your favorite there are always so many frat parties going on to go to. 


Halloween
ECU has the best Halloween of any college in the United States. Downtown Greenville is completely blocked off and turns into a huge block party! Also River Walk has a huge block party every year and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. You definitely need to cross ECU halloweek off your list one year if you have not already. 


The reasons of why ECU is the most fun in North Carolina could go on and on, but above are just a few reasons why it is the absolutely best! You can't spell parties without pirates!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
