[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is headed to Elon.  I don’t kid myself and think it’s “better” than Richmond.  Her counselors also had Richmond on her list but she thought it was too small.  Not sure if she would have gotten in or not (maybe but it was not a sure thing).  She did not want Elon because it was “everyone”a safety” but needed up loving it upon visiting after acceptance.  It’s a nice campus and the kids seem very happy.  Everyone she knows who went there or knows someone who went there loved their experience.  That worked for her.  She is not hung up on rankings and feels she may be better off at the top of the class in a “lower ranked” school, especially if she decides on law school, which she is considering.[/quote]

So nice of hear that your impressions were in line with ours. My son is will probably choose Elon over his other choices including UVM and Virginia Tech. It’s a nice size that’s difficult to find. [/quote]

Yes.  She initially thought she wanted a larger school and ruled that out, then fell in love with a smaller school that just felt too small for her (she thought it felt like a boarding school).  Elon felt like the perfect size.  There are not that many schools in that range and most are Catholic (which was not a deal breaker).[/quote]

My DD has the same issue — wanting a mid size school that isn’t Catholic. Any good ideas? (Not that there is anything wrong with wanting catholic school.) [/quote]

Wake Forest is a similar size.[/quote]
