The Elon in Los Angeles program is the reason I wanted to join the Fellows Program, albeit the winter term section. At that point in my life perspective I just thought it would be something cool to tell my friends back home about that I was in a program where you could go to the [...]

Angelic city. Beauty loses meaning. Glamour and failure live side by side. I’ve had an amazing time here. It has inspired me and excited me and although I’m not sure if I’ll move out here, I know that the time I’ve had here has been transformative and eye-opening. -David Gwynn
