<p>I was accepted to Elon University in North Carolina and it was the highest rated school that I got into. It would be alot easier for me to go to a local school. That being said, would you all just go to an average local state school for the convenience or would you think it is worth going to elon? thanks.</p>
<p>It all depends on what you want. What would Elon offer you that could not be found at the state school. BTW, this is not a plug for the state school, just a question to help you evaluate your choices.</p>
<p>It has higher admissions standards so perhaps a better name, but other than that I don't think there is any other reason.</p>
