<p>I posted this is my other thread, but for those who may not look at that, here's some sort of Visit Report! :P </p>
<hr>
<p>As I said already, the campus is beautiful. There are three fountains around the campus, I believe, and as many lakes. The students seem great. The tour guide was very thorough and made the tour enjoyable. A lot of the things covered in the information session I knew from my research or from the Elon site already, which means you probably do too, so I won't cover that. </p>
<p>They have a really nice gym facility for students. I think he (the tour guide) said that you can pay $10 at the beginning of the year and get a personal trainer to help you work to stay fit. Not something you see at all schools. </p>
<p>The dining facilities actually looked really good, and they have a few national chains there too (Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, etc.). There are also restaurants on campus (i.e. servers bring you menus, etc.) and one even has a room with leather recliners and a flat screen tv where you can watch games and so on. </p>
<p>The dorms are a good size (especially after looking at Wake Forest's a few days before - they are ridiculously small there) and there are mostly 4 people to a bathroom, as opposed to communal showers. Definitely a plus! :) </p>
<p>The buildings for the different majors/subject areas are all very modern and you can tell that there have been several improvements fairly recently. The School of Communications is particularly impressive! </p>
<p>I met one professor from the English Department (she interviewed me) and she was very nice, very approachable. I can easily see her going the extra mile for her students. </p>
<p>All students are allowed to have a car, and the student parking lot isn't far out of the way, like many others I've seen or heard of. There is a shuttle bus that takes students into Burlington to Target, Wal-Mart, etc. and there are some shopping facilities there, though nothing compared to Greensboro and it seems more likely that students would drive the 30 mins to Greensboro when they have specific shopping to do or simply just want more options. There is also a Zip Car that students can rent for $5/hour or $35/day - all you need is a driver's license (insurance, etc. is included).</p>
<p>I can't think of much more to tell you, but if I left anything out that I shouldn't have, let me know! I'll try to answer any questions.</p>
