Elon is a small liberal arts college with many graduate programs to offer. I intend on going into international law and Elon places a strong emphasis on traveling abroad and has a reputable law program. The other schools I considered were much larger schools with bigger classes and less teacher-student interaction. Elon seemed to be the best school for preparing me for international law because of its rigorous and in-depth international studies program and the numerous options for travelling to other countries.

Every school that I visited had a fair amount of extra-curricular activities to get involved with, however I feel like Elon tops that list.

Also, not only are these extra-curriculars offered, but most students are involved in at least 2-3 of these.
