<p>I’ll take a shot, but I’m just a parent of an entering freshmen so this REALLY is just my humble opinion based on what I’ve seen and heard so far:</p>
<p>Do some consider it a party school? Definitely yes, though it doesn’t look like you’ll be ostracized if you don’t drink or party. Plus, the school went through some bad publicity on a local TV station last year and appears to be ready to crack down more severely on alcohol use this year. Time will tell. <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wfmy+elon&search=Search[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wfmy+elon&search=Search</a></p>
<p>Extremely competitive, backbiting, etc? I really haven’t gotten that vibe at all, and even the negative reviews I’ve read of Elon don’t mention this as a problem. </p>
<p>Opportunities for spiritual growth? I’d say yes. The Facebook page for Elon’s class of 2011 has a thread about christians, and it’s fairly active. </p>
<p>Accountability? I think it really depends on the professor. Classes do tend to be fairly small, so IF the professor cares it would be hard to hide an absentee problem. </p>
<p>Support? Again, I think this depends on the specific professor, but I’ve find that Elon’s overall reputation is one of strong student support from the administration and professors in general. </p>
<p>And yes, the tuition is one price for all</p>
