West Campus is situated on the far west side of the ECU campus[3]. Farther west is Reade St. and the downtown district of Greenville area. The border to the north is 5th Street. To the east is the Jenkins Fine Arts Center. South of the neighborhood is the Student Recreation Center and Mendenhall Student Center. The first residence hall was built in 1957[4]; Garrett Hall. Fletcher Hall became the campus and Greenville's first high rise building in 1964[5]. Clement and Green Halls, are both All-Female residence halls[6][7], along with Cotten hall in Central Campus.

Central Campus is now home to four residence halls[8]: Sallie Southhall Cotten Hall, Senator James L. Fleming Hall, Governor Thomas Jordan Jarvis Hall, and Governor William B. Umstead Hall. Claude Wayland Wilson Dormitory was built in 1909, but was razed in 1968 to make room for the Jenkins Fine Arts Center[9]. Dr. Ronald J. Slay Dormitory was a residence hall built in 1949. It is located beside Umstead Hall, but is now used for faculty offices. Cotten Hall, Fleming Hall, and Jarvis Hall, commonly called Cotten Fleming Jarvis, or CFJ is located to the east by the Jenkins Fine Arts Center. To the north is 5th Street and to the west is Wright Circle and Wright Auditorium. To the immediate south is the ECU Mall, an open grassy area where the ECU Cupola resides. Umstead Hall is located on 10th street at Founders Dr. Jarvis hall was the first residence hall on campus and was built in 1909. People choose Central Campus because of the close proximity to many classrooms. The other All-Female residence hall is located here, Cotten Hall[10].

College Hill is now home to five residence halls [11]: Dr. Paul Erastus Jones Hall, Governor Charles Brantley Aycock Hall, Governor William Kerr Scott Hall, Arthur Lynwood Tyler Hall, and College Hill Suites. Henry Clay Belk Hall is having renovations done to it[12]. Once it comes back in the fall of 2007 it will be single rooms for upperclassmen only[13]. College Hill is the only neighborhood not on the main campus. But College Hill has many of the same accommodations as main campus minus classrooms. This includes Todd Dining Hall and a gym in Jones Hall. To the north of College Hill is 10th St, the Brewster Building and Fletcher Music Center. To the east and west is not campus and is home to many residential houses. South is 14th St and Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Jones Hall was the first residence hall on College Hill in 1960 and was the tallest building on Campus and Greenville, until Fletcher Hall was built in 1964. Scott Hall is the only All-Male residence hall on campus and is where most of the athletes who stay on campus live.
