Elon University Top Questions

I absolutely love Elon University, and am so so glad that I decided to go there. My freshman year was amazing, and I definitely can not wait to go back in the fall. Elon is where I'm meant to be, and I have a lot of pride in my beautiful school

Elon students are liked by some of the local Burlington townies but there are also plenty of locals who love students. Elon is also located between Greensboro, NC and the Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill area which provides plenty of day and night fun. If you want a great campus, friendly faculty and a relatively low cost education, Elon is the place for you. Plus the weather is great. And when the weather is sunny it's always fun to check out the college girls tanning on lawns all over campus.

It may sound like I am bitter about my expierence at Elon. But really I am not, sometimes being surrounded by students who can't see beyond this weekend irks me. The students may be superficial, but they are the kindest superficial people I have ever met. And again, they're not all like that. There is a handfull of kids that I am so glad I had the opprotunity to know and learn from. Elon recognizes it's a huge party school, but essentially almost any college is a party school. And at least Elon tries to downplay it's students record-breaking drinkning levels by also encouraging students to engage in multiple extra-curriculars, volunteer service and study abroad. All of which Elon has outstanding programs for. If you're looking for an incredibly diverse school with lots of cultural value, Elon's not for you. If you're looking for a school where you can have more drunken fun than you ever imgained, and don't mind trading moral values for a good time, than Elon is the school for you.

just reread everything, it's the honest truth if you're not looking to join a frat, dont go here, you will not make many friends who are cool and besides, most of the frat kids were losers in high school...how do i know? you can tell, talk with them..it's obvious

After stepping onto the campus of Elon, a botanicle garden, you will realize just why it is so great. The atmosphere is so beautiful and relaxing, the people are extremly nice and welcoming, and you always have something to do. I have made my best friends at Elon and have so many memories of Elon. It is one of my favorite places to be. It's all around beautiful.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ELON AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO STUDENTS ACROSS THE NATION AND INTERNATIONALLY!

Two main pieces of advice: 1- DO NOT PICK YOUR ROOMMATE ON FACEBOOK. I did that. It was a mistake. We got along great the first 2 months of school and then after that things went south pretty quickly. She became really withdrawn from our original group of friends, now to the point that I don't talk to her at all if I can help it. Luckily I live in a dorm that is suite-style and my two best friends here live next door and across the hall, so I still love where I live. I can't wait to live on this same floor again next year, but I'll be living with one of my best friends and we will share a suite with two of our other good friends. 2- COLLEGE IS ALL ABOUT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Seriously, if you cannot exercise personal responsibility, than you are not mature enough to be in college. You are responsible for getting your work done, managing your money, getting to class, meeting with professors if you need to, being responsible with partying, etc. College is a LOT of independence, and it's great.... but you just need to be responsible and accountable for your decisions.

Elon is just a great school in general. I love it and I love the people. You genuinely feel at home here and like a part of a family.

Do not come to Elon if you do not have an interest in a school with a strong family/community atmosphere. Do not come to Elon if you do not want a personal relationship with your professor. Do not come to Elon if you are looking for athletics for which the students live and die. Come to Elon if you enjoy being involved in the schools clubs and other activities. Come to Elon if you are okay with drinking on the weekends. Come to Elon if you are generally content with a lack of diversity, because most of the students here are content with it.

Don't come to Elon for the social life.
