The experiential learning and student engagement at Elon University are my top reasons for considering it. What other schools emphasize hands-on learning and student involvement in a similar way?
It's fantastic that you're so tuned into the type of learning environment you thrive in! Besides Elon, you might want to consider Northeastern University, which is renowned for its co-op program, in which students alternate semesters of academic study with full-time employment in positions related to their academic or career interests. Drexel University also has a similar co-op system.
Schools like Bates College and Goucher College have strong traditions of service-learning and community involvement. Moreover, Colorado College with its unique Block Plan—where students take one course at a time for three and a half weeks—allows for intense experiential learning opportunities. Each of these institutions has its unique flavor of experiential learning, so I'd recommend looking into the specifics of their programs to see which aligns best with your interests and learning style!
