I chose Elon because...

I chose Elon because of the size and the location, and the sense of community inherent in that. Throughout my college search, I probably toured almost 20 schools, and I kept coming back to Elon. Whether it was the classes capped at 33 or the fact that you can build relationships with your professors, I kept comparing other schools to the way that an Elon education would be. In the end, I was most excited to be able to participate in discussion-based learning and become a part of the tight knit Elon community.

My favorite Elon Tradition is .... Because...

My favorite Elon Tradition would have to be the Festival of Lights that happens before winter break each year. It was something that I was looking forward to leading up to it my first time and then I was completely blown away when I saw the gorgeous luminaries lining all of the sidewalks. It was a welcomed break during finals.

My most memorable Elon experience?

One of my most memorable Elon experiences has to be when Nicole Byer came to campus in 2019. I didn't really know who she was before her act, but she was so funny, and now I love to watch her Netflix show! It was my first comedy show I had ever been to and I frequently tell people about how much fun I had.
