Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Elon University has two very distinct sides to it. The academic side and the social side. Academically Elon is a great to go to school and get a masters degree. Teachers are highly accessible, resources are plentiful and help is offered all the time. Classes are small and student engagement is at a premium. Elon social life highly depends on what time of person you are. Are you an alcoholic, drug addict moron? Or are you an open minded and intelligent person? Elon students are extremely close minded and dimwitted. I honestly never thought the university would accept so many students with clear mental deficiency. I feel in time Elon may eventually weed those students out. However with Elon rapidly growing they need all the money they can get. Don't be fooled by the southern location of Elon. Most students are out of staters. Many students are from the north. 70% of Elon students are the product of a spoiled childhood and were babied through high school. These students are undeserving of a college education. Elons school size generally sucks. The students are generally the same bland version of a white preppy kid. There are no towns surrounding Elon of remote interest. The closest semblance to fun can be found at UNC Chapel Hill. All there is to do is to attend the various frat parties which of course are all filled with spoiled, rich white brats. Do not go to Elon University. I would suggest a bigger university such as Wake Forest, Appalachian State or UNC Chapel Hill. University Resource Use: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

The staff cares about how students are doing and classes are never larger than 30 people (which I love). Everywhere I go I will know at least one person, but I definitely do not feel like I know everyone or that the school is too small. Greek life is very popular but you don't have to rush in order to get into parties, and not all parties are greek. Community service and study abroad are HUGE. If you are not prepared to be involved with school you will not have a good time. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Surrounding City: B- Have a Question?

I whish there would have been more support for international students at my time, but with the few that attended Elon at the moment they did the best they could. Since there were so little international students I was forced to participate more with the domestic students which gave me a good insight in what the US was all about.

I never considered it academic-lite, but that's not far from an accurate description. This is the right school for the student who isn't up to the rigor of a more competitive college or university. For the most part, the students peform well but it's all relative to the rigor of the program. I'm bored and feel I took a step back academically since high school. At this point my plan is to stay and graduate, mainly because I can afford the tuition, and pick up some post graduate course work from another college. There is no real social aspect to the school and what there is, is kinda lame. The sports teams are on par with larger university intramural level teams and not really worth going to see. You really, really, really need a car. There is nothing to do on campus and you will go out of your mind if don't have access to a car. If I lived local and commuted to Elon, I would be able to manage the social difficiencies, but unfortunately I'm stuck with limited opportunities to break-up the boredom. This could be the perfect college for a person who has lower expectations than I. My advice is to visit during in-session to see if it's a good fit for you.
