Whistle Pig

Lots. Read some of the other threads. Your homeworks already been done for you, but you have to take the initiative to read the thread. If you want the definitive answer get George Keller's book on Amazon or ebay. it's very clear, honest, is careful not to offend his hosts, but exposes many of the positive aspects that have brought Elon to this moment in its history as well as some of the substantial threats to her future, without being overly aggressive, overt or offensive. Good luck, happy reading.

One step on the campus and you will know. I don't mean that pretentiously, but it's a really special place.

Indeed it is. Particularly lovely place. And that bit of genuinely given advice would pertain to Elon and probly another 2000 or so campuses among the nearly 4000 4 yr schools in USA.

Still, look for more than superficial beauty, nice dimensions, and lovely hedges. Even Marilyn Monroe was divorced. Multiple times.

WP...posting your elegant pigism's for multiple schools across this site...wondering if perhaps you need something more fulfilling in your life?? You clearly have strong opinions about Elon, perhaps you should reveal the source so those who might rely on these postings have the full information when they read your...opinions...full disclosure and all of that.

Does anyone worry that Elon looks too much like the "disney world" OF colleges? Perhaps the "perfect" on the surface is not indicative of the total experience. When it comes to colleges one really shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover"!

Whistle Pig

Nah, no need, but nice of you to ask. Some people collect stamps. Others gig for frogs under the moonlight. Some enter pie eating contests at the county fair. Some read Dear Abby (and she's dead!)

But discerning readers who really want to know, follow Whistle Pig!

As for pondering pigisms, take 'em or leave 'em. If I told you I'm the Ayatollah, would you love me anymore or less? And before you go wondering how others spend "life", you might wanna stare in the old mirror. Neighbors might wonder about he who creeps about the net, shooting at harmless hogs.

It's good knowing we're being followed though. Welcome to the fanclub. We've considered national syndication, but this is cheaper.
