'Coastal Elite' in this context is a not-so-obscure reference to primarily intellectual, educated, economically advantaged, people in states like Washington, Oregon, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and Florida. They happen to be overwhelmingly Euro-American, preponderantly socially moderate or liberal, and mostly Democrats with a few "Rockefeller Republicans".

One of the biggest party schools and colleges in general on the east coast. It's very popular and a lot of people who attend the university are not locals and come from cold, northern states such as New York or New Jersey in hopes of escaping to a warm climate. The college is popular due to its proximity to Myrtle Beach and has one of the best college baseball programs in the country. Students who come here expect to party like crazy and live every day like it's a Friday night in July in downtown Myrtle Beach.
Unfortunately, the hype of Coastal Carolina does not last, and once the school year begins, you realize that this town is dead and there is nothing to do because tourist/peak season is over and everything that is great about Myrtle Beach is gone and the area becomes basically a ghost town. All the stores are closed, the beach is too cold to enjoy. It becomes apparent quickly that this area is no different than any other college town or any town in general. Most college towns are actually better because the areas are open all year round whereas CCUS area caters to tourists and disregards college students.
Once you are off-campus, the immediate surrounding area is Conway, which is desolate and fits the definition of a backward-ass, redneck country hickville town.
Overall Coastal Carolina is not a bad school, but no one goes here for its eliteness or because of its academic programs, they go here because they think of the beach and going to college in a warm beach town.

Guy: Coastal Carolina University is a good school, what could be better than being 5 minutes from the beach and partying hard?
Buddy: Good point, I just want a degree anyway, I don't care how good the programs are. Just wanna party.
