Elon University Question

My child is a sophomore MT major at Elon. It IS expensive. It IS wonderful and my child loves it, but bear in mind that the cost of the education for the most part is being covered by loans, to the tune of approximately $15,000 per year. You need someone to be realistic with you. We did not have the money to audition at many schools (in fact, we found out that we knew very little about all this!) and auditioned at only 3, Elon was the only one that required a plane flight.

I would say the majority of students that my child has encountered are not as financially strapped as we are. Conservative? You won’t find that in MT, but there were plenty of students at the Palin rally. I would say that it’s a healthy mix.

My attitude as a parent was if this is the place my child wanted to go, I was going to find a way to do it. And I have 3 children in college! Follow your heart and your dream.
