[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perfect storm:

1. Expensive, mid-tier private at a time when people are feeling economic precarity…

2. …and the government is reducing college affordability/access by limiting federally subsidized loans…

3. …and also reducing the international student pool.

4. Yes, Elon Musk has made the name “Elon” toxic. This might not be a big issue for a highly ranked, widely know school, but for a school like Elon, combined with the other factors, it’s a problem. How many people want to walk around with the name “Elon” plastered across their chest or on a hat? Most people have never heard of Elon University, so their first association when they see an Elon sweatshirt is Musk. It’s terrible for their brand, and a small, expensive, regional school cannot afford that.[/quote]

Isn't Elon a lot cheaper than other privates? In NY it is seen as a solid choice for students who really want to be in the South but don't have the stats for Emory or Wake. I also know a kid who probably could have gotten into one of those 2, but chose Elon for the business leaders program + smaller more personal experience. Parents are well-off and the tuition isn't an issue.[/quote]
I highly doubt people who just miss Emory would drop all the way down to Elon. Thats delusion. [/quote]
