Elon University Top Questions

Yes this is real true but you don't need to be preppy to go here by any means, and the kids who are addicted to Polo tend to get along well with kids who aren't.

I would say the positive ones are the most accurate, but they are both somewhat accurate. Elon students may party (what college students don't) but they drink responsibly because the University encourages safety such as Safe Rides. Students also really do take part in their community through volunteering, engaged learning, and internships.

Some are true others are not. It depends on who you want to take the time to meet and be with for four years

I was actually surprised that there are many students on this campus who are affluent however they certainly are not snobby or stand-off-ish. I would have expected this as when you tour campus it is common to see Mercedes, BMW's, and Lexuses however I have not encountered many snobby students.

Yes, the students dress well and there is a lot of drinking at Elon, the weather is perfect for slip n sliding and day drinking.

Yes. The classes are easy, sometimes ridiculously so. I've heard people brag that it's "so great, cause it's just like high school!" If you're looking for a challenge, don't come here. Elon's administration is sometimes more concerned about keeping the grass a perfect shade of green and building $2 million fountains than anything else.

To a point of course not everyone falls into every category and none of the stereotypes are bad.

There are definitely a lot of rich, spoiled brats at Elon but there are more down-to-earth normal people, they just don't get noticed as much.

No, some kids do party every night, and some kids do have a lot of money, but there are plenty of people who only go out on weekends or even not at all, and the idea that everyone is rich is absurd. A lot of kids like to put up a front, but you'd be surprised to know the truth.
