There is no diversity here, NC is lame and where the school is located is boring.

Ryan

Vineyard Vines

Melissa

preppy, well dressed, potentially snobby, drinks alot

Ian

They are stuck-up. They come from rich families in the northeast. They don't stay in the area after graduation. Elon students live in the Elon "bubble" and have no idea what is going on in the rest of the world. Most students are involved in the Greek community.

Bobby

A typical Elon student comes from a very privilaged family, dressed head to toe in over-priced preppy clothing and cares more about the upcoming party than the upcoming election.

Harper

country-club by day and drunk by night.

Elon students are smart about working the system.
