Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The typical Elon student is good looking, put together, and preppy; some look as if they’ve just come from a J.Crew catalog. Guys are attractive and clean-cut, often seen with button downs, khakis, and Sperrys. Girls are well-dressed and put-together, many wearing Lily Pulitzer dresses and carrying Longchamp or Vineyard Vines bags. The ratio is in favor of the men here, and the majority of girls are naturally pretty and fashion savvy. Occasionally, you will see students wearing sweatpants or clothes from the night before, but most students dress nice for class. Because of the incredible involvement on campus, it’s not uncommon to see students wearing suits or nice dresses throughout the day also in preparation for a job after class or an internship to get to. Greek students are not afraid to flaunt their letters whenever they’re given the chance, so t-shirts are popular as well.

In the same respect, Elon is a close community, and while some judge their friends from their clothes and income, many students have the maturity and intuition to look past the materialism of it all. You never know what connection a student may have to your future, so don’t judge a person by their looks or clothing!

The Student Population

Elon is known for its student stereotypes, this is true. A large amount of students are Greek, and preppy, and typically well-off. But this is only one side of the Elon community. The school has a strong English department, as well as Communications, Business, and Performing Arts. Students with a variety of backgrounds come to this school for a multitude of reasons. If one can look past the stereotypes, this school has a lot of things, and people, to offer.

The Usual

Girls tend to be very put together, the standing joke is that you cant tell a sorority girl apart from the general population because everyone looks like one. Guys are really attractive, but as tend to be jerks, gay, taken or uninterested. Everyone is generally pretty nice. Most guys are pretty sexist.

Girls/Guys

The common personality at Elon is friendly, outgoing and happy. Many are friendly, but there are a few stuck up girls. Guys are a lot more mature than guys in my hometown, and are usually athletic and can be a little cocky. Girls are treated well at parties and in general. Easy to make friends if you try.

Social Scene

Students are very outgoing and ready to party on all days of the week. You can often find students at off-campus Greek houses and apartments, on-campus Greek houses, or one of the many bars on a Thursday night. Over-21 students have more variety, including local favorite Brown & Co., where students can use meal dollars to buy pitchers.

Hookups or Relationships?

Many freshmen who come to school with serious boyfriends or girlfriends often to find themselves single by springtime. Hookups are common, but by junior and senior year, many students settle down, and some even get engaged before leaving Elon.
