If you're self-driven to succeed academically and make friends, you will thrive here. So many great club opportunities as well as great resources for academic advising and tutoring. Extremely inclusive and safety is never an issue. Many different dining hall options and you can tell the teachers genuinely want you to succeed. Overall so happy here!

Elon is a bridge to no where. Communications is a worthless degree. I tried to transfer. Zero credits. I had to suffer through the malaise of this clown college. This sleep over high school is not worth the money your parents will have to pay. If I could do it all over again. Elon is an epic loss! On so many levels
