Dumb to toss Elon out?

I was accepted to Elon w/ a Presidential Scholarship, and up until now I just kind of assumed that I wouldn’t go. I applied somewhat thinking it was just a safety and never really had big intentions of going.

However, with the economy looking the way it is and my family’s stock portfolio plummeting, it looks like Elon is a pretty good option. Now someone from my high school attends and he isn’t much of a fan - says it is a lot of rich kids who drink themselves into oblivion every weekend and that academics come low on the priority radar for them.

Can anyone offer some positive advice about Elon? I know that is just the opinion of one guy and it certainly isn’t by any means accurate…so who’s got something great to say about Elon for a prospective journalism or history major and a dance minor?

Thanks!
