Outside the classroom, students engage in the Elon Experiences by studying abroad, leading student organizations and doing internships, volunteer service and undergraduate research. Recent additions to the outstanding campus include a library, science center, residence halls and Rhodes Stadium. With an enrollment of about 5,500, Elon is the ideal size, with the resources of a university in a close-knit community atmosphere.
