| Jack, I'm not sure if you meant the "more going on at Elon than at Wake" tongue in cheek or if you really are surprised? I think what my older son found was that being a smaller, more tightly knit campus he often knew what was going on at Elon whereas his gf was not as in touch with as many people at Chapel Hill.
I agree that UNC having only 15% Greek is a big plus (in my book at least), in fact that is why my younger son is leaving Wake due to the overwhelming Greek social life there. Since I haven't had a son (yet) at Chapel Hill, I can't compare UNC to Elon as far as the Greek influence, but Elon's Greek social life does not seem nearly as exclusive as Wake's.
I don't want anyone to misinterpret--I think UNC is a great school and son #2 will be there in the fall and is looking forward to a school in a college town, a school with many majors/minors since he is still somewhat undecided, and a school that offers lots of opportunities for research in various fields. |
