I can do my best … Wofford is smaller (quite a bit) and more southern. We left feeling positive about the school. Wofford is significantly more money and their rate of increase was higher than Elons. My da was offered a very nice Wofford scholarship (had two visits/interviews) that brought the cost lower than Elon where she got the presidential plus a fellows stipend. Like I said though, Elon’s rate of increase was lower and over four years the difference was inconsequential. Wofford ranks higher on most college lists (or at least did last year), but my family that lives in NC confirmed that Elon is now seen as the more impressive school overall. It is, of course, all about fit and my da decided in the end that she liked the adults at Wofford a lot, but wasn’t sure she’d fit as well with the kids. Elon hit #1 on her list on our first visit. We didn’t visit NC State, but I grew up in the area. State is an entirely different feel as a big, public university. (Tuition cost for next year is Elon: $38,275 Wofford: $49,500.)
