REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingMy classes are just right in size. From the class of 6 to the class of 21 they all have been appropriate for learning. I have had great teachers, each one wants me to learn and take something from the classes.
Whitney from Stonewall, OK
I have learned more at ECU than I ever thought I would! The classes are small and my teachers all know me by name. Teachers also really care about your academic success. As with any college you'll find a professor or two who don't connect with (or care about) students, but that is definitely not the norm.
Marissa from Seminole, OK
I've learned a lot in my time at ECU, both in and out of class. I feel that the classes here are giving me all the knowledge I need to prepare for my career. I've learned things I didn't know I needed to know, and sharpened skills I already had.
The only problem is that there aren't many professors at this small school. So if you take certain classes, for example Photography I and II, you may get stuck with a professor who just can't teach. Luckily though, most of the profs know their stuff.

CalebI
The classes are a great size, not too big. The teachers are friendly and willing to help for the most part.
Scottie from Stonewall, OK
ECU is a wonderful school. The various academic departments are fully student focused. It is wonderful to be able to have access to, and feel accepted by the professors.
Jackie from Ada, OK
There are fewer than 5,000 students which makes it easier for students to get one-on-one attention or help when you need it.
All the buildings are close so you don't have to walk for like twenty minutes to class.
There are hundreds of parking spots for students who commute everyday to school.

Madelyn from Ada, OK
It is a extraordinarily welcoming campus, with people who are willing to help new students. The atmosphere is supportive and school spirit is evicent. I rate the school a 10 for how kind and easily accessible the school is.
Hayley from Santa Ana, CA
This college has great professors that are willing to help you whenever you need. The campus is right in the middle of town so your right by other businesses and food places. The classes here are challenging enough to where you feel like your money is not being wasted.
