Elon University is the most amazing environment for learning and growing as a person. Not only is the campus gorgeous, but the programs offered at Elon are outstanding.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?
You have to see the campus and go on a tour! Once you see and hear all that Elon has to offer, you will not want to or need to look anywhere else. You would be hard-pressed to find a school with better opportunities or a more well-rounded education.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Elon's programs challenge the student to perform at the best of their ability. They expect nothing less than each student's best effort, and inspire everyone to reach their full potential. Also, class sizes at Elon are small, so teachers get to know you and will then come to expect more from you, unlike at bigger schools where you may be referred to as 378 in a 450 person class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are amazing! Even the smallest ones are spacious, and there are many different styles offered to suit any preference. There are also many services offered for the dorms: they will cut and install any carpet of your choice before you arrive for a nominal fee, if they can access your bathroom from the hallway they will clean it for you, there is free Wi-Fi throughout the entire campus, and if you don't want to use the free laundry machines they will wash and fold your laundry for a nominal fee. You also have the opportunity to switch roommates up to four times a year just in case something goes wrong. The dorm life is really amazing!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The programs at Elon are definitely worth the money! They have an amazing study abroad program, and even offer to send you to any Spanish-speaking country for free if you take 140 hours of any Spanish related class!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a ceremony to welcome freshmen called Under the Oaks in which all freshmen will receive an acorn. When those freshmen go on to graduate, they will receive an insured oak tree!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Many programs at Elon are very strong, but they are known for their outstanding Communications department. Also, in the past 20 years, they have had a 100% placement for music education majors, which is not very common these days.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
All the lampposts at Elon have little blue buttons on them so that if you are ever feeling unsafe or are just chilly or too tired to walk back to your dorm, campus security will pick you up at the lamppost and drive you wherever on campus you need to go.
