Things to Consider
Elon University
- 1 High cost of $60,000+ total with moderate financial aid - carefully evaluate affordability and potential $32,000-35,000 debt load
- 2 Limited economic diversity (13% Pell recipients) may create homogeneous campus feel and limit perspective exposure
- 3 Town of Elon is very small - requires transportation (car helpful) to access urban amenities in Greensboro/Raleigh despite proximity
- 4 60/40 female/male gender imbalance
- 5 Greek life at 38% is significant though not dominant - may influence some social dynamics
