[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also grew up in North Carolina. While I do think Elon has improved over the years, when my high school class was applying to colleges (in 2000) it really wasn't on most people's radars. Part of this may be because if you are from in-state, the academics aren't better than many of the state schools and it's expensive. The top kids in the class were applying to Duke, Wake, UNC, or out of state schools. The next tier focused on UNC as a reach, NC state or schools like UNCG or UNCW. The only kid I know who went to Elon went because he got a scholarship to keep playing soccer.

Also worth noting that Elon is near Burlington which, frankly, is even more of a dump than many of the other towns in that part of North Carolina. Someone was knocking the area around Duke earlier but Durham is a far more vibrant and interesting place (the downtown is in the process of a pretty significant revitalization) than the Elon/Burlington area.

Elon is better than uncw or uncg c'mon now...lets at least be honest[/quote]
