Pros

Elon has a great energy. Kind students that are above average. The town and surrounding area of Burlington is OK, but not an easy place to live if you're single. Elon also caters to married/partnered faculty and staff. Young unmarrieds are at a disadvantage when it comes to study abroad and tickets to stuff.

Cons

Elon has its share of bureaucracy, but what university doesn't. There's a lot of top down decisions, but the president is a good guy.
