Elon University Campus

In this video I give you a quick look around the Global Neighborhood and inside the first floor of one of the dorms. Global was my home as a freshman and I really liked it because it literally looks like a hotel but there were some downsides. Global, like Colonnades, isn't very social like historic is so for my first semester before I joined my sorority it was harder to make friends. Of course I made friends going out and in classes and around campus but they all had huge groups of friends from all living in historic together so I didn't have that same experience. However, every year there are usually 2-4 floors in Global that are so social and fun so if you're looking to be in one of the nicer dorms there is still a chance you can get a great hall and all hangout in the common room together and go out together.

Belk is one of Elon's many study. There are three floors, the first floor is where you can be loud and talk and meet with groups without having to lower your voice, generally I get distracted on the first floor because it's a little too social for me (first floor is why they call it Club Belk). The first floor is also home to the writing center which is a really great resource that I use. You can bring any piece of writing to them wether it's just an outline or draft all the way to a 15 page research paper and they will go through and help you revise it. The second floor is where I prefer to go because you're allowed to talk but at a lower voice/whisper. It makes it a lot easier for me to study there. Then the third floor is absolute silence, personally I have never even been to the third floor and was asked to not bring a camera up there BUT it's basically the exact same layout of every floor. ALSO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS for some reason the library was not packed in this video like it usually is. I waited until Sunday to make this video just so I could show you the real Club Belk but sadly it is only the second weekend of school so a lot of people don't have much work yet (besides me and Julia for some reason).

Sports are a lot of fun at Elon. Basketball, soccer, and football are very popular games to attend and Elon hosts fun tailgates during football season where students can hang out, listen to music, play cornhole, and eat good food.

Elon has a small downtown area with restaurants, an ice cream shop, a coffee shop, the Elon bookstore, and local shops. Farther off campus (but still walkable) is a Greek restaurant called Mediterranean Deli, a breakfast place called Skid's Restaurant, an asian place called Simply Tai, Domino's pizza, and several bars, including The Fat Frogg which is a popular bar that many students go to to sing karaoke and hang with friends.

In this video I give a brief walk through of the Loy Neighborhood. Loy is Elon's greek neighborhood with 9 sorority houses and 6 fraternity houses. I lived in Loy my Sophomore year and it was the peak of my college existence. My sorority picked twelve of us to live in the house and we all ended up becoming best friends. Living in the on campus house is an amazing experience and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it (besides the fact I lived in a triple room which wasn't TERRIBLE but wasn't ideal) It's a really social neighborhood and we were all always in and our of each others houses.

Club sports is really big at Elon, and many students participate in them, like Ultimate Frisbee for example. The Alumni Gym is the main gym on campus and houses classes for dance yoga, and more. It also has raquetball courts, a pool, and a basketball gym.

Here's a quick introduction of Elon University! It is a private liberal arts school with a population of about 6,800 students. The campus is easily walkable and full of green spaces. Elon is secluded from busy city life, but it is right outside of Burlington, NC and close to shops, restaurants, and a movie theatre.

The historic district of Elon is landmarked by the Alamance fountain. Surrounding it are several academic buildings and freshman dorms. The historic district also includes the communications buildings, the Truett Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, and the McEwen dining hall.

We are famous for our fountains at Elon. Almost every picture you see of Elon has one of our two famous fountains in it. Fountains are an Elon staple and I couldn't make an Elon video tour without adding them in.

So this video is a little interesting, I wish I could have gotten a better perspective for you guys but as I said I work for the football team my boss was generous enough to allow me to use my film for that job to give you guys a look into what an Elon tailgate is like. Generally the tailgates aren't as packed as this because of frat parties that go on at the same time as the game, however today they were required to have tables there for the first home game so its a little more fun than usual. Elon is NOT a big football school even though we have good football now. Hopefully that will change as the years go on but if you're looking for that southern football feel of 30,000 students tailgating and getting in their school spirit for a huge game this is not how Elon does football. Personally, I love the games and now that we are really on the rise its so fun to be working for them as they keep getting the W's. Incase you're curious we ended up beating Furman 45-7 :)

Campus Rec is a great resource for students for health and exercise including group classes!

Sports games are super fun and a great tradition at Elon. Take a look at the football stadium and such.

Alamance fountain is BEAUTIFUL. I love hanging here before classes to read and catch up on homework!

Hotspot of student life clubs and events!

Greek life is very prevalent on campus. Many students will join an organization; however, there are still plenty of students that choose not to. Elon does a great job of keeping the recruitment process as smooth and comfortable as possible for those rushing. It is a big part of social life on campus and adds to the community of Elon, especially with all the philanthropy events.
