Elon has been a big disapointment to me. I was expecting more challenging academic experience. This is more of a safety school for kids from the north. Also, there is really no social life at here. The sports are pathetic and the campus is otherwise pretty dead. Most hang out in their rooms and drink and listen to music. The professors are ok though. Because most of students are a bit below average academically the class tends to be dumbed down to the average level of the class. I've transferred to another school for next year and looking forward to being a part of active campus life and more challenging course work.

Bummer. Good thing you are moving on to somewhere you fit better socially so maybe you can find your people. Life is what you make it. I have to agree with you that Elon professors are awesome. I got lucky with finding friends and take accelerated classes so I'm getting challenged, do research, etc. Good luck.
