Elon is not able to really be ranked against these schools, but it is highly reputable as you know and emerging as a national university. As far as the rest: Furman (slight edge) Wofford/Sewanee High...

Thank you for the comments… and very helpful. I hear you on the feeling at Furman… I would say my daughter had a similar vibe. Further, I and definitely supporting her decision on this, but also...

Interesting about HPU - I was driving tonight on the I-85 headed East from Durham. When I got to Burlington / Elon - HPU had three billboards - big font, that said something like Visit High Point...

There’s definitely competition between the two. We loved our Elon visit but the admissions rep that gave the information session did make a snide comment about being a “real college, not like that one...

You’ve added an important “life skill” to the curriculum at High Point- knowing that you get what you pay for. This chart seems like a satire, no? Read full thread

At any school where students live off campus, the same disparity exists. There were some Harvard grad students living in austere housing and others literally in the Ritz hotel. HPU is hardly unique....

So like NYU, in other words. Yes, I wish schools offered similar flat rate dorms, but apparently there is a market for luxury. Read full thread

I don’t know what NYU does but there is no doubt today colleges are attracting wealthy students with amenities. But HPU I think is on a level all its own and they are not shying away from it. And if...

Interesting you ask what other colleges offer multiple tier housing… Many colleges do it they just don’t call it that - Elon does it, Yale does it, UNC does it, and so on and so on. I also noticed...

I think the tough thing for colleges in the area is that HPU has such new facilities while others are landlocked and can only upgrade what is there. That alone can foster some jealousy due to the...

A lot depends on what is your child like, what major do they want, and what activities do they want to be involved in as each school has a very different flavor. Would you share a bit more about your...

I agree with you that most schools have several tiers for students to choose from based on income levels. I think, since HPU has so many new buildings in the last 10 years compared to other colleges,...

Snarky, funny. But also high point has better amenities, cleaner campus, and frankly the two are very comparable in terms of acceptance rate. Respectability wise your degree from Elon will not get you...

Sure, I can’t discount your personal anecdote but what I can point out is that many people begin to deny when they’re jealous. What’s objective is the newness and luxurious nature of the campus makes...

I might be jealous, actually. I’ve been to UNC (ehhh), Duke (nice) and Wake (daughter didn’t like). We did a self tour at High Point - and she thought it was really really nice - but not college -...

Jealous? That’s such a strange thing to say. I’m sure the kids at Elon and the others are too busy living their lives to be thinking about how much better the housing is at High Point. Nice buildings...
