Housing
The law school will not provide housing. However,
abundant, affordable housing options exist in downtown
Greensboro and throughout the Triad area. Below is a link to a list of housing opportunities for the 2007-2008 academic
year. The persons and organizations listed below have
contacted the School of Law seeking to make their properties
available to Elon Law students. Interested students should
contact these housing providers directly, as neither the
School of Law nor the University will be involved in
providing housing for law students. The descriptions in the
listings come directly from the renters or sellers, and the
school makes no representations regarding any of these
properties. This list is not comprehensive, and students are
encouraged to investigate other opportunities in the area
using resources such as the Relocation Guide, Apartments.com
and Apartment Finder, as well as apartment complex and
realtor web sites.

Food
Because it will not provide housing,
the law school will also not provide a meal plan. However,
the law school will incorporate a coffee bar and will offer
several vending machines. Numerous restaurants and fast-food
franchises, including Quizno’s, Chick-fil-A and Subway,
are located within a few blocks of the law school.
Parking
Students will have access to public parking decks, one of which
is directly across the street from the law school. Students
are responsible for the monthly
rate of $50, bringing their projected parking fees to
approximately $250 per semester. Students may also choose to
arrange for parking in various private parking lots in the
area. They might also choose to utilize Greensboro’s
public transportation system.
Recreation
The law school is
collaborating with the Kathleen Price Bryan Family YMCA,
which is located just a few blocks from the law school at 501
West Market Street. During the 2007-2008 academic year, the
law school will provide each student with a membership at the
YMCA at no additional cost. Students may also purchase family
memberships at a discounted rate. The law school understands
the importance of physical fitness and exercise and is very
excited to provide this benefit to its students. The YMCA
includes a large fitness center, two swimming pools,
basketball courts and a running track. Visit the YMCA’s
web site at http://www.bryanymca.org/.
Students may also choose to join one of several other fitness facilities that are located downtown and throughout Greensboro. Greensboro and Guilford County offer numerous public recreational facilities, including tennis courts and extensive greenways and parks, an excellent resource for walking or jogging enthusiasts.
Law students may also utilize fitness facilities and take advantage of recreation opportunities on the Elon University home campus. Visit the Elon University Campus Recreation web site at http://www.elon.edu/e-web/students/campus_recreation/default.xhtml.
Health and counseling services
Law students will have the
option to visit the R.N. Ellington Health and Counseling
Center on the Elon University home campus. Student visits to
the Health & Counseling Services are free of charge.
There are nominal charges for medications, lab tests,
procedures and medical supply items. Visit the Health and
Counseling Center web site at
http://www.elon.edu/e-web/students/health_services/services.xhtml.
Recognizing the importance of adequate health insurance coverage, the University and law school require that all students maintain health insurance coverage. All registered law students are automatically enrolled in an injury and sickness plan made available by the University, and the fee is billed to each student's account. Students showing proof of comparable insurance coverage from other sources (e.g, coverage under their own, a parent's or a spouse's insurance plan) are exempted from this coverage and will not be charged.
Elon law students will also have access to BarCARES Inc., a non-profit organization that provides confidential, free professional counseling to lawyers and law students in participating Bar Associations and law schools. For more information on BarCARES, visit http://www.ncbar.org/about/barCARES/index.aspx or call (800) 640-0735.
24 HOUR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
The Division of Student Life in cooperation with Campus Safety and Security maintains an evening and weekend administrative on call system to assist students and their families in the event of medical or other emergencies (death in the family, etc.). Students and their families may access the administrator on call by contacting the Office of Campus Safety and Police at (336) 278-5555. Campus Security will take your contact information and contact the administrator on call. The Administrator on Call will call you back (usually within 15-20 minutes) and will assist the student, contact the appropriate Law School administrator, or contact the counselor on call if the situation warrants. If this is a medical or psychological emergency requiring immediate assistance, please call 9-1-1.
Disability services
The School of Law and Elon University are committed to the
principle of equal opportunity. One of the ways we express
that commitment is in our efforts to accommodate qualified
students with disabilities as they face the challenges of
university life. Faculty, staff, administrators and students
work together to find approaches and accommodations that
enable students to benefit from the wide variety of programs
and activities on campus. The School of Law will work with
the University’s Academic Advising Center to arrive at
the most suitable approaches and accommodations for its
students. Law students and prospective law students who need
more information about disability services should contact
Alan Woodlief, Associate Dean for Admissions and
Administration, at awoodlief@elon.edu or (336) 278-9200.
