The 2010 U.S. Census must get an accurate count of everyone living in the U.S., including domestic and international students attending Elon University. Students living away from home while attending college will be counted at their on-campus or off-campus address, not at their parent’s address. Completing the census here will not affect a student’s residency in his or her home state. Students residing on campus should complete the census forms in their area office (Greek Life Office in Moseley for those residing in Loy Center) between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on March 31 or April 1. Off-campus students should have recently received a census form in the mail. All students living at the address are considered one household, so roommates should fill out a single form.
