Pros

Amazing opportunities for students who are ambitious and have a go-getter mentality.

Cons

Their seems to be a upper middle class white privilege culture at times; however, if you truly care to find racial as well as socio-economic diversity it is definitely here and growing!

The work environment is very homogeneous and university administrators do not value diversity.

Pros

This is a friendly community of teacher/scholar/mentors and a great place for staff and faculty in regard to the work atmosphere, perks and positive attitudes of supervisors and administrators at all levels. Definitely a wonderful place to work. Beautiful campus, well-appointed office spaces, attention to employee needs in regard to providing the training and equipment to succeed is outstanding. Great location within an hour's drive of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem and six hours or less from Washington, DC, Charleston and Atlanta. Three-hour drive to the Outer Banks on the Atlantic and a three-hour drive to the NC mountains of the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Cons

If you want to live in an overpopulated urban area, Elon is not it. It is located a short drive from urban attractions in a cluster of idyllic small towns in Alamance County. All of the shopping and dining choices found in a typical suburb can be found here - Target, Home Depot, Bed-Bath-Beyond, Kohls, Best Buy, Michael's, Red Lobster, Chili's, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden and dozens more - but there are not many non-chain restaurants, no local opera company, no pro sports right here, locally.
