[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do have experience with Elon. I would not have sent my child there again if I had the choice. But honestly, they had few options. Kid likes it fine, but would not say they are blown away by the quality of the community. [b]I would just ask, are Mercer and Elon the only options?[/b] Why not consider other schools? If your kid is not worried about the quality of PA school they go to after graduation, with good grades from Elon, she will be able to get in somewhere, but not a top program. Elon just doesn't send kids to top graduate programs overall. Yes, it's a beautiful campus. But your child will not be surrounded with kids interested in intellectual pursuits. With that said, if she is highly motivated and can get good grades, it probably does place into programs better than Mercer. I just can't understand why she would narrow down to these two. What about your state flagship? If in VA, what about JMU? Large state schools just have so many more resources and better graduate program placement than an Elon or Mercer. Good luck![/quote]

I don’t know why people on this board have such an axe to grind with a very average private college[/quote]

It kind of looks like the poster answered your question before you even asked it...in the second to last sentence. [/quote]
