Close to 40 percent of the grades are A's, another 20 percent are B's, so if your GPA matters more to you than actual learning, Elon is the perfect place for you. One of the local bar and restaurant owners was recently arrested for trafficking in cocaine and date rape drugs.

Elon is a greatQuite BrightPolitical Science
Elon is a great school so far, and I am very pleased with my decision. It is in a somewhat rural area so if you like cities then don't come. Otherwise, its great!

Question
Good school for giving you a chance toQuite BrightBiology
Good school for giving you a chance to have many interests and experiences. Clubs are great and Greek life is not your only option for a social life. It's easy to make friends. Intramural sports and student rec activities are incredibly fun. I like my honors classes and classmates are smart and interesting people. The only thing I didn't like so much were some of the common core classes because they are pretty slow but the pace picks up once you get past intro level. The food is really good which was a surprise. One annoying thing is that some of the dining halls close on the weekend and I end up with extra meal tickets because I don't like walking all that far. January term is great. So go to Elon if you want balance in your life.
