I thought Elon had an amazing community feel - from the moment you step on the campus you sense that everyone there has a place they feel they belong, and they are all passionate about it. It feels very connected that way.

Don't waste your money here, or the best times of your youth on such a lame school.

Elon is unique because it combines the benefits from all different types of schools to create the perfect balance on a college campus.

Everyone is super involved, and people are dressed up even for 8am classes.

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. There is a huge variety of things to get involved with from club sports, leadership programs, volunteer organzations, greek life, student production clubs, and more. Also, not only are these extra-curriculars offered, but most students are involved in at least 2-3 of these.

For a medium sized school, it has a small school feel.

The students are engaged with the community and campus. The professors are caring and helpful. The facilities are incredible. Financial aid is weak. The community provides a terrific living experience.

Social life is all greek life, little else seems to matter, but there are very liberal viewpoints so abstract thinking is readily accepted.

Elon is unique in its focus on study abroad and experiential learning.

It is a gorgeous campus that offers so many experiences.

Elon provides an interesting mix of people from throughout the united states and abroad. Elon has great emphasis on practical experience, internships and study abroad opportunities. Elon has a fledgling alternative scene that's really starting to flourish and is alot of fun to be part of.

It's size is perfect..not too small and absolutely not too big. You will see the same faces very often but it is big enough where you don't have to if you don't want to. The facilities are very nice and people that work and attend the school are very helpful in letting you take advantage of all they have to offer.

Elon University is unique in its size and beauty. After visiting this campus, I knew I would fit in perfectly at Elon . The smaller class size appealed to me. I did not want to go to a school where I would be one of 200 students in my freshman class, sitting in a lecture hall. The brand new, state of the art, Science building really got my attention, since I would be spending most of my time there. And yes, the campus is beautiful. Even Bill Clinton will tell you that.

It's small and because of that there is a enormous community feel. From the professors to the cafeteria workers, everyone loves Elon and does whatever they can to make sure you get the fullest experience.
