"The Elon 'bubble' is a bit like Beverly Hills: 90210, only in North Carolina," jokes one student. "It's not uncommon to see kids driving around in BMWs and Lexuses" or donning wardrobes that leave some feeling that they are "living in an Abercrombie and Fitch" catalog. While "diversity may be lacking," there's a "feeling of camaraderie" at Elon that everyone notices "when they visit for the first time." "I guess it's just that good southern hospitality kicking in!" exclaims an undergrad. Much of Elon's student body hails from mid-atlantic and southern states, though some come from "as far away as Japan and Yugoslavia." Students describe their peers in a variety of ways, ranging from "very religious" to "liberally biased." "Most are also smart and come from good families," according to one student, while another adds, "courteous, intelligent, caring, and generous" to the list of appropriate adjectives describing his classmates. And, without question, the student population is "very Greek oriented."
