Talk:Elon University

Is it seven? Or is it [more like] nine?

These comments are based on -- or "as of" -- the "Latest revision as of 09:11, 14 March 2024" version of this article.

What the "Campus" section of this article says

The first sentence of the second paragraph of the "Campus" section of this article says: [QUOTE]:

Elon's 656-acre (265.5 ha) campus is divided into seven major neighborhoods: Historic Campus, Central Campus, Global Neighborhood, The Oaks, The Station at Mill Point, Danieley Center, East Neighborhood, The Colonnades, and South Campus.

Internal disagreement

One problem is that while the [above quoted] sentence first says "seven", then it immediately proceeds to list nine different ['major neighborhood'?] names, right after the colon. (Were two "list entries" perhaps 'added', without updating the "total" number stated? Or... is there some other explanation, for what seems to be either a discrepancy or some "room for improvement"?)

External 'disagreement'

In addition, the article about the Campus of Elon University has a "Residential Neighborhoods" section that seems to be inconsistent with (both the nine "list entries" and the stated number "seven", in) the ["Campus"] section of this article. I found that the "Residential Neighborhoods" section of "Campus of Elon University" has 8 (eight) sub-sections ... which seems to suggest that -- perhaps -- the correct "total" number of ['major'!] residential neighborhoods there, might be 8, ... instead of either 7 or 9.

What (if anything) should be changed? (or, better "explained"?)

Any suggestions? Mike Schwartz (talk) 06:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
