Those Who Attend Elon

There are a wide variety of white people here at Elon. You will see girls who range from kinda a boho, international vibe to those who could possibly in a Lilly ad. The majority of girls are good looking. Elon is a pretty fit campus, most people are skinny to normal weight. The guy population is a different story. It is quite polarized. You're either in a frat and most likely an ass, or no, and therefore most likely normal. People are pretty nice though. I personally have a wide range of friends and you can find atleast someone here who fits into your life style. The majority of minority students come from athletics or are international students, but Elon is working very hard to expand its diversity, which is respectable.

Greeks Run the Campus

Greek Life runs Elon's campus. Mostly every female pledges and it feels as if almost have of the males pledge as well. They throw great parties and all you have to do to get in is know people in that certain fraternity/sorority. The houses are also great from the looks of them, including three new ones being built this year.

Off- Campus Housing

There are several apartments close by. I live in Greensboro, which is a 40 minute commute. It is easy to find parking on campus and it is also very safe to walk to class.
