Susquehanna has very fine music programs. We know a number of excellent musicians who went there. It is particularly good for aspiring music educators. Re: Elon…we visited it with DD and she hated it. There is a lot of hype about Elon where we live and the school did not live up to the hype. The campus is very very pretty, and it seemed like the programs were diverse enough. BUT it is located in the middle of no where. The tour guide said that students either needed cars, or needed to make friends with those who had cars. For our kid, this was not what she was looking for. The town is very tiny…didn’t look like it had much of anything to offer the college students. DD was concerned that all activities on weekends and evenings would HAVE to be either on the college campus (and was there a good variety of those??) or a 20 minute drive away (not to her liking). She was totally turned off by the %age of greek involvement.
