Roanoke College is a school where you feel a part of something bigger. It is a close knit community where you say hey to each person that walks past you. Roanoke College is preparing me now for the harshness of what the real world has in store.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be mentally prepared for what you are getting into. Roanoke College is not an easy school where you will make straight A's. You will be tested mentally all the time. Wether it is from the actual work problems or just from the stress of all the work, it can be very frustrating. Just keep your cool and realize that you got in for a reason, so show them why you deserve to be there.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Very hard classes but they will push you to maximum potential. The teachers are very nice and understanding. They are willing to help if you don't understand the problem. If you still don't understand it, the tutoring center is superb. They are very helpful and by the time you leave there, you will know the material.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is awesome. Unfortunately, being in the oldest dorm, its not the nicest. But it is still awesome the freedom of living on your own. Just don't abuse it. Campus security is watching...
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is excellent. There are so many different options. No matter what is the main course of the time, there is always a pizza bar, deli bar, pasta bar, fried rice bar and cereal bar open. It is hard to get tired of eating the same thing when you can eat differently everyday.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The most fun thing to do is to get outside on a beautiful day and kick around a soccer ball or throw some frisbee with some friends. You can also join in on intramural sports and become a part of a team that bonds friendships.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is a very pricy private institution but it is worth it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The school is always coming up with new clubs and activities for students. There is always something to participate in or be a part of. The school does very good in getting famous musicians to come play here. Just this year there have been two musicians that have both been at the top of the charts in the country and have come to play for Roanoke College.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is actually very helpful. My friend had his car die on him in the parking lot and Campus safety came to save the day with a jump start. They are intimidating looking but they are good hearted. They are there to protect and serve us, as well as be a friend and lend a hand.
