This school is everything. I'm an actor and I couldn't ask for better training, more talented peers, or more knowledgable professors. Plus, the campus is all sorts of gorgeous.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
To be fair, the prep culture is pretty prevalent here. If you've never heard of Vineyard Vines or Lilly Pulitzer, you're in for a little bit of a culture shock. Elon isn't too small but it's not exactly large, either- you'll see friendly faces everywhere you go, but you definitely won't get to know every person on campus.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Hoo ha. Elon does not mess around when it comes to challenging students. You better study.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
How your dorm life experience goes really does depend on where you live. I live in the Historic neighborhood in a co-ed hall style dorm and it is so much fun. There are four people to a bathroom (SO NICE) and the rooms are a lot bigger than what you'd imagine for a typical dorm room.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Here's the downfall. The dining halls aren't open 24/7, and with a performer's crazy schedule, that's a little inconvenient. The meal plans are kinda dumb and I feel like I'm throwing money out the window by being forced to have a certain one. The food itself isn't exactly great, either.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are so many clubs and organizations here. GET INVOLVED! There's a club that goes down to the animal shelter to play with puppies. Seriously.
There are always concerts, seminars, guest speakers, neighborhood dinners, going on- there's always something. You just gotta look (:
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
My favorite place is the new coffee shop called Oak House. It's cozy and my go-to for studying and catching up with people.
