Etown is an awesome school! What makes it truly special is the students. Everyone is involved and eager to make an impact in their community. High-impact students like that made my experience so incredible!

Ever since I stepped foot on this campus, I've been in love with Elizabethtown. I'm so happy here. If you love a small campus (we have about 2,000 students I think), you will enjoy our tight-knit community. Almost everyone on campus is a familiar face. I'm glad I wound up here. Best choice of my life so far.

Great overall school

It is a small school, so no frats or anything like that if that is the social life that you are looking for. Great community, the faculty and staff are very approachable and wonderful to be around. The buildings are kept up to date and are nice. The campus is absolutely beautiful with incredible walking trails.

Elizabethtown College is an awful place to go. The courses are harder than any other college I've been involved with, no to mention the tuition is extremely high compared to its competitors. The sports teams are full of themselves. The athletic department only cares about soccer. If I could do it all over again, I never would have come here.
