Elon University Top Questions

I do not believe that there is a type of person who would not love Elon. There is something for everyone.

A shy person.

I think that a person has to have a good plan, knows how to save money, and hopefully has a good job waiting for them after high school., because .in this day in age it's hard to get anywhere without a college degree.

The typical Elon student has a hunger for knowledge, a zest for life, and is firm in their beliefs. If a student does not have these core values they will probably not want to attend Elon University.

Someone who likes large, crowded places or the city scene should not attend this school because it has a small student body and is located in a somewhat rural area.

someone who does not like wealthy, preppy, driven people

A big-city person who has to have life going at a fast pace at all times would most likely be bored at Elon, but I have seen seasoned New Yorkers start to enjoy the pace after a little while.

In terms of needing to fit in, Elon is for people who dress according to clothing fads (UGG boots, North Face jackets, Vera Bradley bags, etc). There is a small population of "indie" and "alternative" students - they're here because they don't care about not going with the trends that the masses follow.

Elon is great if you are looking for a school to grow while you are there. The school tends to cater to those who will be able to give back to it after graduation and Greek Life is important. Elon tends to overlook indescretions in favor that you are learning to make smart choises. It is in a nice small-town area, so if you like big cities, do not even apply. Elon cares a lot about money, so get used to it now.

People who think mommy and daddy's money will carry them through.
