My favorite Elon Tradition is .... Because...
My favorite Elon Tradition is College Coffee. The entire Elon community is brought together in the same place each week to build community, develop friendships, and enjoy snacks. Elon always has something going on that students, faculty, and staff all get to attend and appreciate. College Coffee is one of those older traditions that makes Elon feel like a community rather than just a college campus.
My most memorable Elon experience?
My most memorable Elon experience was Move-In Day freshman year. I remember being so excited and nervous as I arrived on campus and began settling in my new dorm. Seeing everyone moving in, meeting my roommate, hearing the excited cheers of staff and other students made everything feel real. I knew at that moment this was the beginning of the best four years.
I chose Elon because...
I chose Elon because the moment I stepped on campus, it felt like a place where I could see myself growing. I love the beautiful campus, close-knit community, friendly professors and staff, and the vast amount of opportunities Elon has to offer. To me, Elon has the perfect combination of academics, community, and opportunities to help me thrive.
