Wow Elon, it's going to be sad to part ways with you after four solid years. Here are some of the things that I will miss most:

The weather

75 degrees and sunny in February? Sold. Elon has the perfect mix of fall/spring weather throughout the school year. There will only be a few days where it’ll get cold enough to break out your winter coat, and if there’s even a chance of snow you know you will have a guaranteed snow day.

The fountains

Elon is known for its fountains. You snap pictures of them on a daily basis, laugh whenever they get an excessive maintenance upgrade (does the KOBC fountain really need that many spouts?), and can be found swimming in them after a long night out.

The professors

Elon’s small class sizes are definitely a perk. Classes are interactive and your professor puts in the effort to know your name. It’s easy to form good relationships with professors and you know you can count on them for educational, professional and even personal advice.

The community

What other school would bring camels to campus to celebrate hump day or give out free Smitty’s just to boost students’ moods? No matter how diverse the campus may be, students always come together to enjoy different campus activities.

College coffee

College coffee is one of my favorite university events. It’s a place for professors, faculty, students and organizations to come together and enjoy a warm cup of joe. There’s always something new to discover Elon from one of the organization tables surrounding the commons.

The food

While our dining halls may not always have the most appetizing options, the restaurants right next to campus are full of amazing, local food. From the tacos at Tangent, pizza and garlic knots at Pandora’s Pies and variety of sushi options from Simply Thai, you never get tired of the same food places.
