Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Computer Science  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average If you need to be surrounded by students who want to learn, go somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, I have met more than a few brilliant students here, but most of them just make a game out of class. As for the majority of students, homework is for when they wake up at 4pm on Sunday and pop an adderall and an Ibuprofen because they are so hungover from their four day long alcohol bender. However, alcoholism is not an issue on campus - it's the goal. Of course, college is what you make of it, I can't argue with that. Just don't come here with the expectation that you'll be surrounded by "engaged students" in x number of extra curricular.. those numbers are inflated or manipulated and I'm still wondering what they are engaged in. The only benefit to this is that the good professors are dieing for good students. If you can catch their attention, that will make it all worth it. That is, if you are lucky enough to find them. If you are reading this, you probably think I'm part of the extreme that would be motivated to write on studentsreview, and you'd be right. Maybe my experience isn't typical, but I've made up my mind about posting this "review".. not everything is as it seems, and just realize that like anyone trying to sell you something, Elon works very hard to project an IDEAL image. I just wish it were completely true.PS on a positive note, I just want to reiterate - there are some great professors here who really, really know their stuff and are really, really good at teaching it. I have friends in the UCONN compsci and business programs who can not understand their professors. I am so glad that when I'm challenged by my courses it is because of a few good professors and not a language barrier. that being said there are a few professors who are bad, and the rest are average.. kind of like the student body. Choose wisely, in more than a few ways. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: C Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I saw the comment from the parent whose child started drinking - but that parent has to realize that the drinking behavior can happen at any college. Overall the college is really nice - it's clean, has great facilities - nice library, nice living conditions and nice learning environment. Every week we can have coffee with the faculty. The colledge also has some fun traditions. We all received an acord at the invocation ceremony - and when we graduate we will all recieve a small tree; and other stuff like that. The college also has a lot of students that particate in service activities. Some students work on lab projects directly with professors. We don't have graduate students so you do get to know your professors, which is nicer than other schools that have lots of graduate students. And the weather is really nice - not too hot and not too cold. I would recommend Elon for science majors, physical education, communication, journalism, acting, plus many others.

It is over-rated and is only for the wealthy and the snobby upper class. Others who attend have their family values and morals demoralized and if you don't have money, party and drink, you are in the wrong place no matter what your course of study is. I hate to say it, but you can get a better education, be in a better social environment where you work for a job, not inherit it through family members, and not become an alcoholic, if you stay where you are and go to your local college or community school. Trust me, stay where you are and keep your loyal friends and realize it's a alcohol and drug school for the wealthy. PARENTS BEWARE... PLEASE... I know, as I had to re-establish my relationships with mine.... Individual Value: C+, Campus Maintenance: F Have a Question?
