Elon University Campus

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.

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.

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 :)

Moseley Center is home to many organization offices as well as great study areas. It is home to the mail center, Irazu Coffee, and Lakeside Dining hall. Many students like to hang out here. The library is huge with three floors of study space with a writing center, disability center, study rooms, and Media Services where students can check out laptops and equipment.

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

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.

This is a look into the Mosley Student Center. Mosley is a pretty popular place for students to go and play table top games like ping pong or air hockey. There are lots of bean bag chairs so students come and hangout in Mosley for hours to just do homework or catch up with friends. It's not a huge student center like some schools but Elon has so many areas to congregate unlike a lot of schools that just pack them all into one student center.

This is just a quick tour of global commons (GLOCO) this is a huge hub for freshman and sophomores looking to do homework or group projects on the week days and week nights. During finals week you literally have to get there at 6am to get a study room or a spot in the great hall (same with the library and the business school and comm school so basically during finals week we're all up at 6am fighting over rooms and study areas).

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.

So in this video I give a tour of KOBC. This is one of the newest academic buildings at Elon, the business school is home to a large percentage of Elon students as we are very well known for our business program. An even newer business school was just built on the other side of the street but it is not open for students yet, but apparently it is GORGEOUS. Professors are raving about it saying it's even nicer then KOBC which says a lot. Because I'm a communications major I really don't spend any time in KOBC but I've always wished I had a class here because it's a really nice building.

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

Hotspot of student life clubs and events!

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

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.
