How does Elon compare?

<p>Can anyone compare Elon to any school on the West Coast? </p>

<p>Our son has been accepted to Elon and is trying to figure out if it's a good fit. My wife and I are from California and had never heard of Elon before. Our son's HS counselor recommended it and hopefully she knows our son and Elon. He has also been accepted to St Mary's in Moraga, CA. </p>

<p>We've read the various threads and they've been helpful, but a compare would be interesting. </p>

<p>Our son is a B student (1900+ SAT). He is friendly, but not the center of attention type. He gets along with many different social groups. He is also athletic ... was recruited by some D-3 schools, but probably won't pursue. He attends a small elite private school with some super hardworking and intelligent kids ... many headed to Harvard, Stanford, Duke, etc ... </p>

<p>He is good at math and science, but is leaning to a business major. Originally he stated he was most interested in staying on the west coast, but applied to a few east coast schools to see what happened. Of all the schools he applied to, it has come down to St. Mary's and Elon. </p>

<p>We're also interested in what the prospects are after school ... sounds like Elon has a strong prescence and alumni network in the N.Carolina/East Coast area. Are there any West Coast alum with some advice? </p>

<p>Any inputs would be appreciated. Thx.</p>

<p>Sent you a private message inviting you to call. I don’t know any other schools quite like Elon but will share everything I know as a parent of a Elon Sr.</p>
