[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To us, it felt like a private JMU - wealthier kids and skewing more towards students from the Mid-Atlantic and New England whose parents wanted them at a smaller, private university.  Top states for students after NC are MA, NJ, NY, CT and MD [b](notice both VA and SC are missing).[/b]

Grounds and buildings are well-maintained, especially compared to many smaller colleges and universities in the South.  The atmosphere is a bit sleepy, but it seemed like a student who wanted personal attention from professors could find it there.

Overall, it's about 60% female, 40% male, and you pick up on the imbalance quickly on campus.

Elon is a very small town, and the nearest town of any size (Burlington) is dumpy (hard hit by decline of textile industry in NC).  More to do in either the Research Triangle 35-40 miles east or Greensboro 20 miles west. [/quote]

First Year Students State of Origin
NC - 17%
[b]MA - 11%
NJ - 10%
NY - 8%
CT - 7%
MD - 7%
PA - 7%[/b]
VA - 6%

Right.  So once you include other states from New England, Delaware, and DC, you've got a student body that is primarily from the New England/Mid-Atlantic areas.  Not something you'll find at too many schools in the South.     [/quote]

Kind of hard for most UMC VA residents to justify the  expense of Elon over say JMU, unless special circumstances (ADHD).  I liked Elon when we visited.  Buddy from high school went there and loved it.  He's doing just fine.
