<p>It took 2 visits for me to be sold on Elon for my Northeastern D b/c we had similiar concerns- the biggest one being distance. I have visited over 30 schools b/w 2 kids and believe in the Elon mission. (I tried hard to find a comparable alternative & finally thought what am I stupid?!!! this school is a gift!) </p>
<p>The nurturing, respected academic envirnonment on a very sophisticated, gorgeous, safe, fun and affordable campus-- what’s not to like except not a big 10 football experience? You got it- my D loved her freshman year; learned alot, lots of interaction w Professors, extra help when needed, got great grades, very nice friends, professors (1 was not so good out of 10 different professors- pretty good odds) & staff. </p>
<p>Her friends are from MA, DC, VA, NC, FL, NY, CT, NC, and one from AZ! </p>
<p>If you are looking for big rah- rah - think Clemson, Penn St & Auburn. U Dell is an excellent school but football & teams are a bit dull</p>
