Kathiep and Speedo thank you. I was looking at Elon. I have heard that it is gorgeous, but did not see the school. Price wise I will need to look closer, but I think Elon starts out 5,000 less, but gives out 5,000 less in merit aid on average. Susquehanna is about 7 hours closer for to our home. I wonder how that plays out in terms of internships and jobs available closer to home after graduation.

What makes Elon a better school? It seems to be a prior hidden gem and has lately turned into a hot school. I understand that it is beautiful and the students seem very happy. What else I should know about it? Elon also has aacsb accreditation. Student sat scores seem very close at both schools, though Susquehanna probably has some students that scored lower on the sats because they have an alternative to admission where one can submit graded writing samples for admission and not submit their sat score (I guess math ability is then not even looked at other than grades from the hs). That is not an important option for my son.

Jessetfan, thank you for telling me how your history teacher liked the school.
