[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just did this exact trip in late August with my senior. We drove and stayed in 2 cute AirbNbs. 
The schools are an easy driving distance between each other, but tours are scheduled at specific times (usually twice a day) and you should pre-register. We did Duke and UNC, staying in Carrboro. Neither were offering tours then. If you're really serious about these schools, you'd want more time there but we just had lunch and hung out at Duke, then spent the rest of the time at UNC. Chapel Hill is a fun town. (One thing that was cute was a very packed patio at a Mexican restaurant we ate at tended to have tables split by gender - a table of boys, then a table of girls - because it seemed like the freshmen were still getting to know their hallmates then.)
We drove the next morning about 50ish minutes to Elon, and checked in at admissions before doing a self-guided tour via our phone. About 45 minutes farther was Wake Forest, which had tons of kids milling about and lined up for lunch. We made it to Davidson for a 2 pm tour, went to a campus event that night and hung out a bit in the morning before the drive back. I wish we'd had 4 days to get to know the schools better but even in this rushed tour, I learned a lot more about each school and the surrounding towns. [b]Elon isn't far from the Research Triangle but the drive is rural [/b]and you'd need a reliable car to get between the areas, for instance. Good luck! [/quote]

It's literally a straight shot on 40 to get from RDU to Elon. What about the drive is rural to you?[/quote]
