Central
Central neighborhood is at the heart of ECU’s academic environment.
Located in the heart of our main campus, the Central neighborhood features smaller historic buildings that foster tight communities. Cotten Hall, Fleming, and Jarvis Hall are among ECU’s original buildings. Jarvis Hall currently serves as our only all-female residence hall. They join Umstead Hall, located near the Main Campus Student Center. All four Central neighborhood halls are within a short walk to most classes and the Joyner Library.
