Elon looks to be a fantastic school and is currently at the top of my D19’s list. My concern with the college is the apparent lack of on-campus housing for the student body. According to my calculations, Elon has room for 4000 of its 6000 undergrads (even after they finish building the new East Neighborhood), and housing is not guaranteed after two years. If you have experience at Elon, could you explain how this works? Where do off-campus students live? Is it difficult to secure on-campus housing if you really want it?
No need to be concerned, there are plenty of off-campus housing options. My S lived in an off-campus house and my D is living in an apartment complex this year and will live in a 2-story townhouse next year. All are much less expensive than on-campus housing. Study abroad semesters can make planning for housing and sublets a bit tricky, but it will work out. It is a fantastic school!
