Read Hundreds of Quotes from Elon University Students

Read samples from the Elon University guide below:

Academics

“My teachers are awesome. They all try their hardest to teach their students and help them whenever needed. My classes are really interesting. Each one allows you to open your eyes beyond what you read in the textbook and see how it applies in the real...”

Diversity

“I think one other student and I make up the entire Hispanic population. I wish this school had more diversity. I come from a very diverse hometown, so being at such a ‘dull’ university was a culture-shock.”

Guys & Girls

“The girls and guys here are very attractive. But sometimes the girls may come off as easy or snobby, with their bleach-blonde hair and layers of eye make-up. But that’s not to say you can’t find a very attractive person who is down-to-earth and sweet as...”

Academics

Within the brick walls that make up Elon University, there is a fascinating world of information and knowledge. To prospective students, Elon looks exactly like what it is—a university trying to create a name and reputation for itself. From a student’s standpoint, that image gets a little lost in the hectic schedule of going to classes, studying, having a job, and mostly trying to enjoy the college experience.

While talking with some of my black friends, they voice their concern about the small amount of African Americans at Elon, and how it affects them as a part of the race. Sometimes a student will see a Hispanic or Indian student and make a joke like, “there walks diversity at Elon.” Many students want higher diversity, and in the...

Guys & Girls

You might think of the song “Come As You Are” by Nirvana when you think about Elon University. Like any other university, especially private, you will have girls who come from wealthy families and can afford to dress in all Abercrombie and Juicy Coture, and wear make-up they bought at Sephora. Guys can be the same, with their Gap and Banana Republic clothes. However, none of this is a social requirement. You don’t have to be dressed to impress all the time to meet or date people. Although it feels like you...

Athletics

Intramural sports are very big on campus, probably bigger than many varsity sports. Elon offers seventeen varsity sports and twelve Intramurals on campus. In the 2003–2004 academic year, the school was brand new to a higher division—the Southern Conference. This advance has been very exciting for students and staff alike, and has helped our reputation grow. For anyone who doesn’t feel like they are good enough for collegiate level sports, or just wants to play for fun, Elon offers many intramural sports,...
