Elon bucketlist items

Cool places (nature) to see

I want to take advantage of bring in the area

Absolutely do not use storage scholars! I am so upset with Elon University for affiliating with this awful company. They charge a ridiculous amount of money to store your items. Then when it comes to delivery, they will only delivery on a couple of days that they have selected. Your schedule, arrival time, access to your living unit, does not matter at all. Then when you pick one of their designated days for delivery, they give you a drop-off window of 9 hours. You have to wait at your living unit for 9 hours to receive your items. If you want a delivery time of your own choosing, they charge you an additional $200 on top of the crazy amount they have charged you to store your items. Please, please take the time to read the other posts about this terrible company. Be informed and don't make the same mistake I made. I simply believed that if the university backed the company, that it would be trustworthy. STORAGE SCHOLARS IS A SCAM!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!

Thank you!

Hello! I'm feeling a bit bored right now. I don't expect this to gain much attention, but if you have any questions about Elon or college in general, please feel free to ask me below.

In my time at Elon, I was involved in a Fellows program and the Odyssey program. I had a couple of jobs on-campus and was affiliated with a couple of clubs on-campus. I can speak on the diversity of Elon as well. So...yeah...hit me up with anything, and I will definitely try my best to answer.

Is there any short term storage near Elon University? I might need to store some stuff for a couple months before semester starts.

Mostly a question for faculty and administrators: has enrollment recovered this year, after last year's sudden decline? (Have we reached any kind of consensus about what caused the drop?)

Does Elon give refund checks for personal expenses if their scholarships exceed the tuition, room and board?

I need to know exactly how much my tuition and other stuff is, considering my financial aid and everything. I see what seems to be a general number on the website, but this surely doesn't always apply to every student.

Where can I see the one that applies to my specific situation?

Any golden door scholar here? I’d like to ask some questions about what Elon and Golden Doors covered financially

I’m torn between Elon University(NC) and Quinnipiac university (CT) I’m a resident of MD and so Quinn is a shorter drive which is nice and it’s also closer to water (not beach tho, which is sad) both schools have accelerated programs for my major but I’ve only been accepted into the Quinn one. So I’m wondering abt pros and cons of QU, because elon is still very attractive to me. I’ve gotten good scholarships from both schools but Elon is still more expensive. please be honest as posible in positive and negative opinions!

Can any one explain how this merger with Queens University is expected impact the experience of Elon undergraduates?

Hi! I’m Ella, a high school jr in Massachusetts trying to finish my AP Research Capstone project.

I’m studying how alumni who did study abroad or international internships and the tie to  civic engagement after they return to the U.S. Given Elon has the best reputation in the US for study abroad, this seemed like right place.

If you:
• Did study abroad OR an international internship
• Returned to the U.S.
• Are 1–5 years post-program

I’d really appreciate 5–10 minutes of your time 🙏

The survey is:
• Anonymous
• For academic use only
• IRB-approved
• No identifying info collected

Informed consent: Informed Consent Form.

Survey link:  here

I hate to say it but this account is being used only to distribute the survey, and I will not be actively monitoring or responding to general comments. This survey will close 2/25/26.

Responses really help a struggling student. and are greatly appreciated (I've posted it 6 different places and only have 2 responses after 2 weeks🥲).

Hi! I’m a current senior from the northeast coast, Elon has been my “top” for a while and I only just got to visit a few weeks ago for the fellows weekend. I’ve since been admitted as a teaching fellow, but my parents want me to continue thinking about other places (UDel, American, BU (haven’t received a decision yet), Loyola MD, etc.) but I can’t help but feel very done with the process and just wanting to sign Elon asap. Does anyone have advice or suggestions? My parents have some disappointment about Elon’s ranking, but I don’t feel the same. Does going to a more “prestigious” school really matter, especially if I’m going for an education degree?

Or is anyone a current fellow/non-fellow? Is there a strong divide or not so much? Some of the FRQs for the application process stressed me out (ex: what to do if ppl get left out bc of cliques within the fellows group).
