Only thing comparable is that they are both in NC, thank goodness.[/quote]

I’m no High Point booster but let’s not pretend Elon is really that different. Both are average private schools for rich kids. [/quote]

So what’s the vibe at High Point? I grew up in Greensboro NC and went to UNC for undergrad and Duke for grad school. I knew people from high school who went to Elon and now that I have high school aged kids I keep meeting parents talking about Elon. I only ever heard of High Point for the first time in the last 6 months…it’s honestly strange.[/quote]
High Point is now what everyone thought Elon was when we went to college 25 years ago.[/quote]

Nobody has been able to demonstrate there is a difference between High Point and Elon. Both are fine but mediocre. [/quote]

If you give that much of a crap, do the leg work yourself. [/quote]

I think they’re the same. Neither are T100 national universities. [/quote]

Elon was 70 something before the big shakeup where both it and Wake Forest fell like 20-30 spots. Forget exactly, recall as I live in NC and it was a big story.

High Point is known to be very MAGA, campus is like Disney and almost doesn’t seem real, but the area is vey depressed so it’s a jarring juxtaposition outside the gate. They tout life skills. I’m sure some kids benefit. I know they have a steakhouse as part of food plan once a month or something. No phones allowed as supposed to talk.

Elon was a regional school that managed to turn itself into a university. They have been adding programs and are doing well at attracting from all over. They tout experiential leaning and seem to have good outcomes in what they’re open for - business, communications, theatre and now nursing. Not sure how popular engineering is but they have it.

NC publics are cheap compared to many states so that’s where most are going, Wake Forest included.
