<p>Hi! I was accepted early action and am living in California right now. I like elon a lot, but I'm wondering what the students are like. I'm a passionate, laid back student and don't wear much makeup. Would I fit in?</p>
<p>Hi Maddie, I think that anyone who wants to fit in at Elon will be very welcomed and will find their group. But if your asking if in general is a private university in the south likely to be more formal than a California High School, I think the answer would be, yes more women are likely to “choose” to wear makeup. But students are allowed to be who they are and passion is always encouraged. About 35% of the Women and 20% of the Men at Elon join Greek organizations and that tends to promote more formality but again You get to be who You want to be.
There are many organizations at Elon that promote passions, lifestyles, and interests that you might help you find the information about “fitting in” directly from current students. My advice is just to call your admissions rep (or look on line) and get the contact info for some people that might share your interests, and just call them. I have never met an Elon student who wasn’t happy to share whatever information they had. Good Luck.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about being laid back! Elon has a decent number of students from California. People at Elon generally are very involved on campus, but we come from all over and have varied personality types. You may notice girls dress a bit differently in the South, but you’ll get used to that.</p>
