Mine got into both and eliminated Elon pretty quickly. He felt it was a little too artsy. But it is a beautiful campus and the kids we know there are happy.

JMU 100%

That’s a benefit for some parents, lol.

Mine chose Elon for size, geographic diversity, focus on strong relationships with professors, and experiential learning. Niece attended JMU from oos, introvert, had a rough first semester homesick, but ended up loving it in the end. Both great options!

Elon's campus is one the prettiest I have ever seen but it is located in absolutely the middle of nowhere.

OP here. Appreciate this notation for people that reference thread later. Undergraduate class size also different. Elon 6,000 vs JMU 20,000. If cost isn’t a factor, student body size could very much be a consideration.

Absolutely Elon.

For those that it is a factor, JMU is 1/2 as much as Elon so it is significant. In state about $32k vs $60k, not even counting if they study abroad as 90% of Elon students do.

Cost isn’t a factor. Thanks for the feedback, so far!

Mine chose Elon, not in-state for JMU.

I feel like they have similar vibes. Which does your child prefer? Is there a big cost difference?

I don't feel like one would be significantly better than the other.

Wherever is less expensive. If you are in state Virginia, then JMU.

I'd pick Elon for the beauty of the campus, the school's rising popularity and the Love School of Business.

Business major. Which would you pick and why?
