Elon University Top Questions

Elon is not medium to small sized school, which is both a blessing and a curse. Seeing the same people on campus every day creates a great sense of community however at times it makes one wish for a wider variety of people. It's a commonly known fact that avoiding someone on Elon's campus is nearly impossible, but again this only forces students to resolve their differences and creates an even closer-knit community. In the end, while seeing the same people over and over again can have its downfalls, the community makes it worthwhile.

The lack of financial aid opportunities. Many are offered to only incoming freshmen, so currently enrolled students are limited.

This happens with many schools, but campus jobs and classes (when registering) fill up fast.

The meal plan options are not conducive for students who want to live alternative eating lifestyles such as vegetarians or vegans. Since all Freshmen and Sophomores living on camput are required to have a meal plan, it seems unfair to those who cannot find the nutrition they need at the dinning halls. Previously, there was a meal plan cash equivilency in place which was beneficial for those choosing other lifestyles, but that has been taken away leaving many students, myself included, upset.

The worst thing about Elon University is that some of the people here, especially the soroities and ferternaties tend to be somewhat elitist.

little diversity

I think the worst thing about my school is they only give scholarships to students who's major directly corresponds to the scholarship they are applying for. I think this is the worst thing because many students who are despirate for scholarship money end up changing their majors, and not doing what they love.

I would have to say that the worst thing about Elon is there is not a whole lot do to off-campus. The town of Elon is the University, therefore you won't find a whole lot going on elsewhere.

Pretty much everybody here is white; there is an extremely low level of diversity. Also, the financial aid the school offers is rather minimal in comparison to its high cost of attendance (tuition, meal plan, room and board, etc.).

the steryotypes of the people and how acurate they are.
