the $$ concern of your folks cannot, should not be ignored. The rap on High Point, like Elon's altho bringing up the rear @ present, is vastly improving. Maybe Gardner-Webb? Are you restricted to geography?

Look @ Roanoke, a new prexy, maybe trying to enhance their profile. This is tricky because Elon's rise from the ashes took 30-40 years, excruciatingly stable and visionary leadership, etc. So there are no doubt many imitators, few that'll have the planning patience to get, be "there." I'd really wonder about UNC-W or other campuses. Little incentive for any of them to become "student egocentric" like Elon has become. They are publix, run on the cheap with modest motivation to get it well.

Still with nearly 4,000 4 year institutions, be assured Elon's not the only decent place that has potential for fulfilling your dreams. In fact, there are scads of them.
