@prntof3sons I could have written this post myself as my son too is deciding between Elon and Denver—also for business or maybe computer science. We have visited both schools twice----DU right before they stopped doing Admitted Students visits in early March. We are from the Midwest. I actually loved the look and vibe of Elon. It is an up and coming school and is highly regarded for their experiential learning–especially in the business school. Everyone we’ve spoken to LOVES their Elon experience. However…it is in the middle of nowhere and that was a big turn-off for my son. Originally Elon was his first choice for a school but as we visited so many other colleges, he decided that being near a city was important to him so that he could have lots of things to do as well as availability of meaningful internships during the school year. He loves DU and Denver. Loves that he can go skiing on the weekends or do other outdoor activities. Loves that he can go to sporting events in Denver as well as those at DU. He’s an athletic kid (but NOT hockey or lacrosse—Du’s specialties), sort of preppy, not a huge partier and he’s pretty middle/financially conservative leaning politically. DU seems to have a better program if he goes the computer science route in combo with business. His older brother goes to school in a very urban setting where you can’t tell the difference between university buildings and office/government buildings on the “campus”. DU is not like that. It has a distinct campus which is near enough to the city but is definitely in its own “pocket”. Personally, I was leaning towards Elon (not that its my decision) but I have been really impressed with DU’s communications to admitted students and parents—and especially how they’ve handled the Covid situation. Lastly, with all the craziness in the world, I would probably be more comfortable with him at DU as we have family 3 hours away and there is easy access to the airport. There is decent access from Elon via RDU but Denver offers more flight options for us. I have a feeling my son will be going to DU but he’s keeping us all guessing (insert eye roll–but I get that he wants a little fun during these crazy times). Please keep me posted on your son’s decision.
