I didn't realize I would like a school of ECU's size but that university has done a great job of not really spreading the campus out. It feels a lot smaller than it really is. UNC is a lot like that too. NCSU is a big school and it felt like a big school. I got the same feeling from UD too. I haven't met too many people on this board that know of UD so it's pretty cool to have met someone who does! :)

Distance from home can be a big thing for a Frosh!:D

Great to get away from home, but nice to be within 2-3 hours.

My first school, NWMoSU was 2 hours and had a beautiful campus. After I left, they redid a lot and added many buildings and took the neatness away from it.

My second school PSU, Ks. I did not care for, but it really grew on me. There is "The Oval" which connects to all of the orignal buildings. Even though the campus has expanded greatly, it still has the close feeling as back then.

The ambiance of a school and the types of GLO hosing can be important at first look. Because of age of family members, I was told to go close to home. Not a person died until after I graduated from school!:)

I actually wanted to go to either Ks. SU or Co.U.

Still like the feeling of knowing the folks on campus. The closeness of being able to get around campus and having My Fraternity House very near for the members who can park and walk and come back easily.

Never was big on having to have a bicycle, rollar skates or riding a bus between classes.:D

Look at many things, remember, you may have an idea on a major, but, most will change or declare after Frosh year!

Check on all of your interests and then decide. A scholarship can help somethimes!
