    In comparison to other private schools with a great reputation, Elon is fairly priced. However, it is still expensive and the tuition is rising. It's just important to apply for scholarships and aid and if Elon is the place you want to be, hopefully they'll help you make it work financially. Elon constantly tops the charts for being one of the best value liberal arts schools and is definitely going to be a name recognized by employers. The alumni base is really strong and the statistics about employed graduates are promising! Elon is no steal and for in state North Carolinians, it's very expensive compared to the state school options. But for those looking out of state elsewhere, especially at schools in the North East like I was, Elon is reasonable and worth it!

    Elon University completely prepares students for post-graduate life through education and life experiences. There are many opportunities to make connections while in college that will help people after they graduate.

    Elon's biggest downfall is it's high tuition costs, but they definitely have options available for students in need!
