    At ECU, the food is surprisingly very good. The dining hall serves quality food and a plethora of options for every meal. There are any places to go on campus as well such as a Starbucks, a bagel place, and Italian place, Chick-fil-a, Subway, and more. All of these places take the meal plan on your student card the same way the dining hall takes the meal plan. There are so many options no one can ever complain.

    Todd Dinning Hall is very nice and provides a lot of healthy choices. I think that it gives students the opportunity to make choices that effect their health.

    There are three main dining places to eat. My favorite part of dining is that they have a Chili's (college style) on campus! Ask about the Combo Meals and their new meal plan

    I have heard their Greek Life is pretty active and they host great parties! I am planning on joining a sorority when I attend in the fall! It's a great way to meet new people, make friends, and have a good time. Remember: Greek Life isn't all about the partying. They become your lifelong family!

    Greek life is the best decision I have ever made. I have grown the best friends I could have ever asked for. There are many houses and chapters. There is a place for everyone.

    Greek life at ECU is okay. We have Panhellenic sororities and fraternities. There are also other service and social sororities and frats. I am in a social sorority called Phi Beta Chi, it is definitely a decision I will never regret!
