Elon really has been a huge disappointment forSuper Brilliant
Elon really has been a huge disappointment for me. I am not sure what the person below me is talking about, but it seems to me like they fit the typical stereotype here of arrogance and stupidity. Yes, Elon IS right for some people...but they are not people you would ever want to come in contact with on a daily basis. A fact is that more students are transferring out this year than ever before in the school's history. That is not a coincidence. The school markets itself based on lies and tricks people into enrolling, and then ruins our lives. Of course, the some zombies don't notice this and fit right in, because they have never had to do any work in their entire lives and don't know the meaning of an education.

Question
HAHA someone actually tried to defend Elon! IQuite Bright
HAHA someone actually tried to defend Elon! I was wondering if that would ever happen. I like how they wrote that "everyone's mom and dad are important and can hook you up with something"....typical wealthy closeminded delusional attitude you will find here. They also forgot to mention that close to half of the student organizations don't hold regular meetings and never have events. What a dumb bitch.She is probably from Ohio or New Jersey...most of the degenerates at Elon seem to be from one of those two places.

Question
Clearly the person below me who wrote aSuper Brilliant
Clearly the person below me who wrote a positive comment about Elon is in the small minority. I feel like whoever she is, she simply is embarrassed about attending this school and feels the need to be defensive about it on this website. Since I personally don't give a crap what people think about me and have long since admitted I made a horrible choice of where to attend college, I feel the need to address these statements made that are simply not true.

Campus dining is NOT good here. Just because some other schools are worse does not mean that ours is good. "Good" is a relative term. I don't know what the previous poster is on, but most of the dining halls always run out of food and are only open at inconvenient times. All that is available past 8 pm is pizza and other unhealthy garbage. As far as taste goes, the food is okay, sometimes. As far as meal plans go, one swipe is the equivalent of $15, or something absurd. If you get a side someplace, or even just a cookie or piece of fruit, this is one whole swipe. $15 dollars for a banana? Anyone who says that this is a decent price, such as the girl below, is just dumb.

This brings me to my next point, which is probably much more important than the food: people at Elon are not intelligent. I have met more stupid people here than at any other school I have visited or considered. It was my mistake for touring Elon in the summer when no students were around. Oops. Hardly ever will you meet someone who you can actually have an intelligent and constructive conversation with about anything important in the world. All people care about here is partying, which at Elon consists of drinking in your room or at your friend's place. Forget real parties that are actually fun; you won't find them here. I don't even remember what the rest of the previous post is about, nor do I care much, so I can't respond to it. All I am going to say is that Elon is a horrible school for anyone intelligent and open minded. Even for many dumb people, it sucks, because it is probably the most boring and uneventful campus in America. I am done wasting my time here writing about how much Elon sucks when 95% of people already know that. I feel bad for the other 5% who are too ignorant to see how hopeless they really are.
