I agree Burlington does not have a lot to offer in terms of urban amenities. However, Elon is #1 or #2 for student study abroad participation. Open Doors reported 94% of Elon students study abroad typically for a minimum of one semester. My sense is Elon will expand opportunities for semester undergraduate study and internships in Charlotte. This merger makes a lot of sense for Elon and fills some gaps to strengthen their value offer to applicants.
