Dumb to toss Elon out?

I do have a point of comparison. We lived in Greensboro for quite some time and now live in Connecticut. I suppose for you coming from a “small town outside of Boston”, any where may seem like the middle of nowhere. I will say, most things are very “commercial” compared to New England. Location and things to do may be very subjective.

It is definitely not a major city which offers museums, theater, mega shopping, ethnic restaurants, music/comedy clubs. However, we’ve looked at schools for my other child which are in the “middle of nowhere” - more than an hour and a half to a major airport. That’s in the middle of nowhere!

It depends what type of environment a student is seeking. Besides, most students usually go to the movies, restaurants, or shop on the weekend. Elon definitely has plenty of that in relatively close proximity.
