Campus Visit Notes for Elon University


Visit Description:

There seemed to be a lack of diversity among the students. It seemed to be a very clean, not politically active student body. Lack of signage, posters and announcements on the campus made it seem sterile.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Unknown, we drove from home.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

We ate off campus at a Chilis in Burlington.
